I Miss You, My Friend

Whenever I think about you
whether I am thinking
of memories we share
or thinking about things
that I would like to share
with you now
I recall and am thankful for
our warm friendship

Even though you do not
hear from me often
I want you to know that
I do think about you
all the time

as if you were right here with me
I really appreciate the fact that
regardless of distance
communication or time
we are always friends
I miss you

With you there
and me here
I have had no one
to discuss little things with
like how the dew feels on the grass
or big things like
what's going on in the world

I have been lonely
talking and thinking to myself
I now realize how essential it is
to have someone
to share oneself with
