Old Friends

It's been years since high school. still I think of you all. The parties, the friends. the drinking, and the endings. I thought of contacting you many times before. I went to classmates.com and urged my self no more. I heard you were married, and have three great kids. I'm glad your life lead you to this moment, and you've learned to forgive. you were the person I loved my wishing well and romance of doves. the night stood alone when you left me in the rain. I gathered my thoughts and tried so hard to run away from blame. Your mother thought we were to young she said it was time to move on, you took her advise and made your way home. here I am at 90 still thinking of you life seemed so lonely the day I stopped holding you. Everything around me, felt empty inside. The well soon enough dryad and died. I heard you died at an early age, and that effected me. The fact I didn't call, the fact I couldn't see. You were the love of my life, We could had been together forever. But endings go slow, when no one else knows, I had never stopped loving you. I picture you being in heaven with the wings of doves. I pictured you floating on clouds and warping though rings of love. I picture us meeting once again. And me holding you tight. In heaven I hear the romance will last more then one night.this poem reminds me of my father.. And How he felt.. while growing older, And i wanted to let everyone else have a glimps in to his world..
