Perplexing, this ‘used to be’. Deciphering attempts have left me thoughtless. How exactly did it happen that we used to be friends, doesn’t that defy the meaning? I haven’t changed, not that I realized (part of the problem, I suppose) anyway, I still miss you just as much but my fingers weren’t long enough to reach as you drifted out of touch. A little at a time you slipped further and further out into the vast Cyber Sea. Sadness stuck me in the sand; I watched you leave. You never heard me whisper the softest of goodbyes you never heard me shout out loud. I wish my smiles could have turned your rudder but I couldn’t find them overboard they had slipped into my ocean. As Your Fulfilling sails don’t look back, don’t look into my salty waters just think of me, once in a while and maybe, maybe it won’t be such a bad thing this used-to-be... perchance if you were to call one last time it would be nicer than the memory of your back we could meet at the top of the sun sitting on the water’s edge raise our glasses smile one last smile and toast to what used to be. |

I really love this, kid! It is so sad to see people we thought were friends just drift away, and it seems to happen so easily online. You have done a great job with this. hugs To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

yes when friends drift off it's a very sad occurence. Keep that head up high and a wonderful poem!  I was born myself, raised myself, and will continue to be myself. The world will just have to adjust. I hate your socks. I'd like to burn them! |

I think I like you not so "nice" version, though this is well done, I think you other one has more impact It's nice to share - kiss someone when you have a cold. |
