A Friend

I think I must have said something wrong

but I kept all of our secrets

and I can't find the problem.

I thought I made a friend.

It may not have been forever

but it was for right now

and that's all I needed.

We were in mid-stride

still learning about who we were

I was beginning to like you

and you humor. 

I felt like I knew you for years

I don't feel that often

we even came up with nicknames

and code words

I felt young again

I still am but life can get you sometimes

you shared very little with me but I

noticed that life got you too

we had so much in common.

I hope you're ok, wherever you are

I'll keep a seat for you

at the table

the one that resides in my heart.
