Hey! I Miss YOU!

Cheeky Missy

"Your eighteenth birthday came and went...
Yet not a card to you I sent...."
(But when I did, it had a rhyme
That took up very many lines!) 

A decade later who has time
To write or read so MANY lines? 
Do you? 

I've tried to keep in touch with you, 
But busy lives find minutes few, 
Or scarce, or none at all, I know, 
To just say "Hi! How does all go?"

Yet still should we let friendships die, 
That childishly we'd pledged would thrive
Until the end of time? I s'pose.
For that is how I've found it goes.

But say, I do remember you...
The fun we had as children too.
Our lives were never much the same; 
So now we're older...what has changed? 

I'll tell you!...Now I'm chasing you! 
And saying, please for me spare moments few?! 
To bring back mem'ries of old times, 
To say "I'm thus and such....I'm fine."????

  • Comment from author about the poem: Generally I don't ask folk to be my friend, happily they ask me to be theirs. So when time makes the relationship no longer valuable to them....shouldn't I shrug and say, O well, I guess I'm no longer useful to them.....

    great job.

    Best friends are best friends, no matter what! No time length can change friendship. It is always there, it may sometimes sleep but that friendship will wake up one day and find a way to grow. SMILE! THE DAY IS GOD'S NEW GIFT!
