"Another Empty Ringtone..."

"Another Empty Ringtone..."

Where do we begin
  to lose our friends -
the ones closer than god
                        and blood 
        and even our skin.

Where do we begin?

We used to 'play' - outside
             then inside,
                   then for real -
and we shared
  the light,
    dark, and every
thing
           and moment
and breath.

We spoke of every one
and God'ed-this-and-that
and damned-them-all.

We dreamed "sillies"
  and "stupids".
We laughed and cried and were
          ourselves -
   no smoke or mirrors.

I trusted you with...
                                  me.

and then...

We went our ways
and yes, life - life brought us back
and forthandbackandforth
and it wasn't the same... anymore

it wasn't US                anymore

and I reached and reached
and you mysted through my fingers' tips
   and my eyes and mind
     filled
and my heart cried...

I cried.

Where do we begin
  to lose our friends -
the ones closer than god
                        and blood 
        and even our skin.

I don't know...

but we do,
     we always do...

God I felt that I have best friend who fits this description to a T, She and I have watched the seasons of life progress.And yet are falling away like the sand that trickles our fingers through

[Ed Hart]

you always give expression to your thoughts with enough energy to put a rocket into orbit

[J. J. Nightingale]

Life takes us away .. and we forget how to come back to then .. The thoughts of a friendship will always be there .. waiting for us to return .. ..
