We spoke of olden days,
Those days a hundred years ago.
Those times we worked together,
And I drove her to work.
The memories recalled
Of people we knew,
Of times we laughed,
Of times we cried.
The friendship we have
Has never stopped,
Even though we now live far away,
Far away from each other.
But on this day
We met once more,
And we talked,
Talked of wondrous times.
We talked of my loved one,
Of my loved one passing,
The tears shone in her eyes,
As they did in mine,
But all was well
As we spoke of olden days,
Those days a hundred years ago.

So - you was both there in person a hundred years ago? Was she around in 1066 too?! I'm in contact with an old primary school penfriend still, from about 50 years ago now - or should it be 50 million years?
She is probably my oldest friend but did not like it back in the stone age when I dragged her around by her hair!!
Theres always a pleasure when u can relax with people who grew up in the same era and recall jubly's and ten bob notes.
So true d a, we recalled many fine (and sad) times, but it was a great time.

I'm glad you have that friend. True friendship is one of the most irreplaceable things in existence I believe.
So very true Nicholas, thank you.

Touching - but a bit overly sentimental!
I'll accept touching.
