Friends?
From the first moment you extended your hand to me,
I've wondered what kind of friend you will be.
Maybe just an acquaintance,
someone who might happen to recognize me on the street.
Maybe the casual friend who meets me irregularly for dinner
and occasionally drops me an email to say "hi."
What about that friend who is so close, so deeply involved in my life
that I can't imagine a life apart, until six months later that time comes.
You could be that person.
Or you could be, just possibly, an eternal friend,
one who loves me endlessly,
who despite the time and distance is an intricate part of me.
Only in retrospect will I know who you are.
As for now, I see the possibilities in your eyes.
And I know that you are important, no matter what your role in my life.
For this time, I'm glad to know you.
