There you are, on my Mind

I spoke to them today
A piece of my past was on my mind,
A smile I haven’t smiled in a while,
As I heard the familiar voices say,
We miss you, it has been too long,
We look for you but you aren’t there.

I realized I miss them too,
They are aging gracefully,
In their early seventies, still in love.
Still with clear minds,
Still wanting to hear from me,
Friends, who will always be friends.

A precious piece of my past,
That will always be my present and future,
People who have accepted me for me,
People looking at me a someone special,
Friends, dearest of friends,
Missing me as I am missing them.
