Hello old friend;
so many years have come and gone
since I've seen your face

I think of all the holidays and seasons
that have rolled by like a train,
and in retrospect,
I realize that I've barely noticed
how much time has passed

I see the years we've missed
in the lines on your face,
and all the changes that come with age;
and I wonder if you're laughing on the inside,
as you see that time has also caught up with me;
and my waistline,
and my hairline....

Every time I hear
the familiar sound of your voice
it's like a time machine,
bringing us right back
to where we left off so many years ago
as if we hadn't lost a day

It's great to see you my old friend;
I hope that sooner rather than later
I'll see you again

"Hello Old Friend"
