There's Distance Between Us, My Friend, but I'm always Just a Thought Away!




There's distance between us 
these days, my friend,
distance and a little
ache for the days
when we were right 
there to share laughter
and tears, to listen
and to be listened to.
Now the Space 
between us makes 
that hard,and yet,
tried and true
friendships are rare 
and not often found,
and yours is one 
I want with all
my heart to keep.


Though there is a 
physical distance 
between us,there 
is a little place
inside me where 
thoughts of you 
are kept warm 
and safe, and 
there are times
when I still smile, 
thinking of what we've 
shared.


Remember, my friend, 
if you want
or need me,
I'm a phone call, 
a letter, or a 
thought away.
If I can help, 
let me know, 
for a friend 
remains a friend
now and for
Always.
