I have no doubt that time will drop away,
Even if it’s been years since we last spoke.
We’ll still be friends like it was yesterday,
Complete with the feelings that might evoke.
Joy, relief, nostalgia, and love and hope,
Emotions will come rushing back anew.
Real truth, and friendship beyond reproach…
Found safety in a certain point of view.
And so why am I afraid to call you?
Am I worried that we won’t be the same?
That the years will have caught up with us, too,
Life etched into us by hardship and pain.
So the phone goes untouched, messages unsent,
Years go by, with reunions only dreamt.
