~   Old Friends   ~

An old friend is like an old pair of slippers, warm and comfortable.
Always available for heartaches, catastrophes and sushi.
Loyal to the bone, no fake smiles, this friend is genuine.
Nothing about you is shocking, you’re known so well.

An old friend is like an old movie, funny and familiar,
Laughing at stories too many times told, but still enjoyed.
Comfortable in our silence…should the occasion ever arise.
The world is a conversational oyster, with an old friend.

An old friend is like an old memory, instant recall…speed dial.
Distance matters not, in the hearts of two old friends,
Close together or far apart, the bond remains steadfast.
Spirits unwavering, in the love between two old friends.
