Friendship

The gift is offered for a time

  then gone away

People change, grow,

  love more fully

Move to another place

  and good byes are said

Promises to keep in touch

  and this world allows it

Never the same

  as when close 

Face to face

  traveling with hands held

This special place

  is now recreated

Or the whole is left gapping

  wide because good byes 

Were never said and meant

  or we were never honest 

Good luck

  ride the road anew

Travel the pathways

  of a new adventure in love.
