I look into your brown eyes
and see a 5 year old
The innocence we shared
the friendship we knew.

The marriage proposal
and our undying devotion
to one another.
Then we turned 6.

We forgot we knew each other
from the other borough
cause we lived on different
sides of the project

Our classes were next door
but our faces were forgotten
we traveled in different circles
and our lives didnt intertwine.

Only because i was bold enough
to write after 3 decades
was I glad to find a friend
a confidant to share the day with.

Its good to come home
to a friend lost and found.
Lost, I think not
only misplaced.

Really enjoyed this...glad to partake of the positve energy.

Live like it's your last day...
Dance like nobody's watching...
Love like you've never been hurt...

I really like this one. From the charming marriage proposal to the meeting up so much later in life.
But, like implied, we don't lose friends, only misplace. A true friend will always be that no matter length of time between visits. Enjoyed.

Warm regards, Pat
