An old friendship is like
a favorite book
so often read that you
know what will be said
the pages comfortable
in your hands
durable and steadfast
over the years
sometimes a page or
two slips loose from
the binding of a book
often in an old friendship
it can be years that slip
away but simple contact
renews all familiar ways
the comfort of lost time
is re-engaged
we pickup conversation
as if it were only yesterday.

Beautiful words Pauline. Always an inspiration to stop by. You could say the same thing about family that get separated by distance not by choice. Always nice to be able to get back together and reminisce about times long forgotten or only remembered by growing up together.
Have a Blessed Weekend Pauline.

I have a friend from High School and we do this -- won't see each other for two or three years, yet pick up a conversation and carry on as if it were only yesterday.
