friend

i dream about you often,
even when we dont see each other,
or speak to one another.

in my dreams,
we are always side by side,
living, learning, laughing together.

i feel your presence around me
always, like you're part of the air that surrounds me.

you're not who you used to be,
and neither am i,
but i wonder if you wish to reach out to me, call out to me
or if we'll just let yet another moment slip by.

i hope that you are well
i hope your dreams and wants are fulfilled
i hope you carry me in your heart
the way i carry you, and always will.

friend.
