The Last Time We Talked
The years have passed by since we last spoke more than a “Hi” or “How are you doing?”
What has happened to our hours of conversation, and our times together?
When was the last time we spoke of our dreams with passion brewing?
Why don’t I recall what got in between us and caused stormy weather.?
How many people can share these thoughts, wondering where time has gone?
How many conversations are parted as friends with no hard feelings or ill-intent?
But somehow that last conversation led way to a period of silence be it short or long.
Days went by, then weeks led to months, maybe years passed with nary a word sent.
What happened to the enthusiasm and the love as you slowly drifted out of my life?
I kept on trying to break through the ice. I don’t know what I did to deserve this.
Finally, I moved on but do not mistake that as not caring. I just hate conflict and strife.
In a heartbeat I’d return to the young us that we had where we could share our trials and bliss.
Best friends we once were but now I barely know who you are, and you know little of my life as well.
We put on appearances and go through our days, not as enemies but hardly as friends.
What happened between us? Did I do something wrong? How can I ever tell?
Please hear me today as I share my thoughts, best friends I want to be again in the end.
Can we go back in time and mend the bones that made us close as siblings can be?
Can we laugh and share our days, reminisce of good times, and make plans together?
We may not be blood related, but we were our own type of close family.
I miss you dearly and while life has moved us apart, can we promise to make time for each other?
Call me or text me, send me a chat, show up at my door, invite me out to lunch.
Tell me about your adventures, your struggles, your victories, whatever you feel matters.
I want to hear everything you have to say, I’ll share with you quite a bunch.
I don’t want to just have casual conversation that simply bides time and flatters.
But maybe that’s just how life goes, people move on without each other for no reason at all.
But I love deeply and always have more to give, and I don’t let go of people easily.
Open a window just a sliver, a door just a crack, let me in through a crevice so small.
I pray you’ll return as my close friend by my side, let the miles and time pass freely.
Let’s continue where we left off, nary mention our past, just pick up where we last stood.
This is my olive branch extended out in peace, hoping you will accept it.
If you want to accept, simply send me a “Hi”, or maybe I simply should.
Let’s make a date, get together for a few hours, have some coffee, a game and sit.
As we sit let us talk about all the things that we love, let us make up for lost time.
Can we continue to let time pass by with nary a word, will we reconnect and when?
Let’s make a regular date to get together. One time at your place, the next at mine.
Welcome back, my dear friend, please come by my side. Let’s share our lives again.
