old friend

my old friend.

these days make no sense,

but i have understood more about you now

 than i ever have.

i remember the last day i saw you.

you were in my prayer group, and i hid behind sideways glances,

and a heart scared to trust again.

your eyes were sad,

and your words broke my heart. divorced parents. moving. changing.

i'm sorry. and i also forgive you.

we were young then.

and we were older on that last day...even more so now.

time changes.

i love you.

even though things have changed, they have never more 

been the same.

miss you.

so much that those words don't even cut it.
