We needed not correspond every day
Often weeks or months having slipped us by
Distance and routines would get in the way
Yet the bond felt strong between you and I
When times were tough and our hopes were shattered
Listening ears or shoulders to cry on
In those rare moments we knew what mattered
A true friend in which we could rely on
Celebratory milestones we had shared
Bantered among our families and friends
A supportive network of those who cared
But situations change and friendships end
I often wonder what became of you
Perhaps there are times you think of me too
