Have you ever had a far-away friend for whom
you cared deeply? You wrote often, but then a
single day became a short week; one week became
two; these two weeks became a month; that
single month became several? This is for you...Amy H.



Lost To Time

1000 dark faces, all strangers but one
Toward her's I did look, it was my sun
Sparkling eyes, which I could not see
Only within her heart, could I be free
Secrets were told, lies they were never
To each other we're bound, I'd thought forever

Upon saying Farewell, my heart...it was broken
Many miles between words too silently spoken
Cold depths, coming snow
Falling darkness begins to show
All I see is turned to frost
My beautiful Friend...
To Time, you have been lost
