Friendship Lost--A Sonnet

by Elizabeth

I dreamed as I lay in my bed last night
And moonbeams softly, gently touched my face.
So glad was I the moon provided light-
The dream brought with it pain I can't erase.
My friend, you were the one I dreamt about
A happy dream, and yet it left me pain.
For you I miss, we've gone so long without
A form of contact-will we speak again?
My thoughts all day have drifted back to you
I wonder, what have you done this past year?
A friendship that one time was strong and true
Is now a memory, perhaps unclear.
To bring release from this pain bound to me
I'll write to you, and pray you'll write to me.
