Reflections - honestly not sure if this is me or not.

I stare at the photo in my hand,

Smile as I think of the past.

We were wonderful together-

Don’t you think?

So close, so close.

We fit together like pieces of a puzzle.

What happened?

Was it life?

Was it us?

What changed us so?

We never speak.

I don’t know where you are anymore.

Do you still live in that same house?

The one across from the park?

Or have you moved?

I miss you, old friend.

I miss the times we used to have.

Can we ever get it back?

The photograph flutters in the wind,

And is blown away.

Just like our past times together.

Now all I have is memories.

So many people can relate to this at so many different times in their life. I'm not sure if every detail will always be the same, but the point, the emotion, the feeling of being lost and broken without this friend even though your life has moved on and you've grown up a bit more since your last encounter is the kind of thing so many people understand. I know someone who could truly use these words at the moment, just so they know that they are not alone feeling this feeling, but you've penned a wonderful piece - a beautifully heartbreaking write. Great job.

I'm sorry for your rough time (the comment - as old as it may be by now)

Wonderful write. Memories are ever-changing movies in the mind.

Ema, this is wonderful! Reminds me of my high school best friend and our estranged friendship.

Thank you for your review! I think it's sad how a lot of friendships fall apart like this.

[Blue]

Yes, indeed. I feel like inventing a time machine just to go back to old times.

If only we could, right?

Right you are! :)
