I have nicknames and designations for all my friends. You, not a ghost but a phantom, not a ghost because you are my friend, always, and I will always love you. But a phantom, an echoed impression of a  old friend. Foggy, misty, silhouetted figure with a familiar outline and unfamiliar details. Looking for the person you wee in the ancient days of my youth like looking for rice in a snowstorm. Not trying to rekindle an old flame you see, but trying to find the fire-words to light a new one.

Fire-words for an old flame
I have nicknames and designations for all my friends. You, not a ghost but a phantom, not a ghost because you are my friend, always, and I will always love you. But a phantom, an echoed impression of a  old friend. Foggy, misty, silhouetted figure with a familiar outline and unfamiliar details. Looking for the person you wee in the ancient days of my youth like looking for rice in a snowstorm. Not trying to rekindle an old flame you see, but trying to find the fire-words to light a new one.
i honestly do not remember writing this, but here it is. tucked away from the memo section of my phone.
