Hello my friend

So many years without speaking
All we had to do is pick up the phone
(They no longer hang on the wall)
Then we would have known  

So much we have not shared
Why would we dare ?  
I am sure it was not because
we did not care
Somewhat unfair !

Things you did not know

I stood alone in time square
I was alone in all of my despair
There was a time I was on welfare
I am not a billionaire
Most of my life has been a nightmare
I was married and had many affairs
I have been nowhere
but
I always woke somewhere
I have lived most of my life in solitaire
So unaware

I hope your life does not compare
But how would I know
It's been such a long time ago
When we made the promise
That our friendship
we would never outgrow

!!
