I saw you twelve years ago ~ blond hair on a sunny afternoon attending a class reunion closer to forty yet I could not remember you, not like that Earlier, I remember you ~ dark hair on a sunny afternoon in the middle of French lessons you were close to seventeen this, I can remember so clearly That you were sweet and smart ~ playful, generous and right flashing your smile you did reach out and I kept the letters our conversations, how they found me interesting, pair of scrutinizing eyes after all these years I could remember Farewell then, dear friend ~ Will treasure the fond memories thank you for your friendship the inspiration the good example if ghosts are but memories Will you please come haunt me now and then, from time to time, again after all these years? You were braver then ~ So may your lamp rekindle brighter now beyond the wall mysterious And I hope to see you once again someday, somewhere somehow.

To an old friend gone today
