Let’s take a walk
One last time
Through the canopy
And laugh like we’re five
Let’s sit down
Share a worry or two
Dream about days ahead
All the things we know we’ll never do
Let’s reminisce
Of the days we climbed mountains
Of the days you fell, the days I ran
Of risks and hopes and holding hands
Let’s unwind
And look at the stars
As the cold descends
Knowing this won’t last
Let’s breathe together
Wipe a tear away
Sparing ourselves the pain of words
And linger as the end comes to stay.
Sharp images. Nice work.
Thank you!
This is wonderful. You brought my BFF to mind with “All the things we’ll never do” because…seriously…who doesn’t daydream big schemes with their BFF? This is a great poem for old friends…love it. LOVE it.
Yes! Thank you 🙂
eerily relevant and lyrical!
Thank you!
I enjoyed the brevity with which you reveal of this leavetaking.
Thank you 🙂
