To an Old Friend

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


W3 Prompt #129: Wea’ve Written Weekly poet of the week Carol Anne prompts us to write a sonnet on the theme of friendship.
