"goodbye...hello?" < !signature-->today you called me completely out of the blue after three years of not being in touch i wasn't sure what to say to you but the conversation suprisingly was like old times and even when i realized i should end the call i didn't want to and wasn't sure why perhaps its because it reminded me of the friendship we had and thinking about how we lost it made me suddenly feel quite sad you moved miles away and started another life time and distance drove us apart you became both a mother and a wife your departure caused me a lot of pain and though i never got to say i'd like you to know i wish you had never gone away a goodbye has turned into hello now and i'm not sure what to do i wish i had more answers seems i haven't a clue you said that you have missed me and the reason for your call but something not said was left lingering and it make me question was that all we chatted about this and that and it was as though no time had past and at the end of our call, it was amazing to me how much time had past you have asked me to call again but part of me is afraid to just wanted you to know i truly have missed you ***written for someone special who i'm hoping becomes a good friend of mine again*** ~A true friend is one soul in two bodies~ [This message has been edited by Aimster (edited 01-11-2001).] |

True friendships can overcome any obstacle and I am sure you will find that again in your friend you speak of in this wonderful piece. Great write my friend. |

Beautiful write - true friends don't come along often in life.....hold on to the good ones for you never know when life deals you unexpected twists and a true friend will be there when you need her the most. |

Aimster, a very special friend of mine recently moved far away and it's going to be difficult to keep in touch, but your wonderful poem gave me inspiration. Now I know that as our bond is so strong we can make our friendship work. Thank you for this truly inspiring write. I hope you keep hold of your friend...life is never as good without those special ones. Many hugs to you, Becky. |

Aimster, It has been my belief not to question the whys of life, but to enjoy them. She is back now and perhaps your friendship will be too. This was touching my friend. LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

A while ago I hadn't seen a special friend of mine for almost two years...when we finally got together again the relationship was exactly the same as if I had never left...some are like that and some good ridance...James |

Aim, This truly touched me. It takes everything you have not to say what you feel, at the time of the call, and it haunts you long after you've hung up. A sad and wonderful poem. Best of luck to you. Elise |
