a few weeks ago,
tj and i
were sitting
side by side
on a beach chair
when she turned,
looked at me
and said,
i think that even if
we only see each other
once a year
we'll still be
close friends.
i smiled
and said,
i think so, too...

i'm going to miss
hanging out, girlfriend.
i'm going to miss
hearing you yell my name
from beneath my window
when you want me to come out
and sit awhile.
i'm going to miss
talking at the table
as the sky turns from blue
to pink to dusk.
i'm going to miss
the way you call me sugar
and all the other sweet
and funny things you say.
i'm going to miss
the way we laugh so easily
and talk so honestly
about hard times of the past
we each have known
and the happiness
we've found
in the present.
but i'm not going to miss
being friends...
because i know
we'll always be the kind of friends
who keep in touch
through facebook
and phone calls...
the kind of friends
who pick up right where we left off
no matter how much time
passes between seeing each other...
good friends
close friends
forever friends --
that's the kind of friends
we'll always be.
