This comes straight from my archives, a time when i was learning how to concoct marvels with words (which i still am).
O Friend!
Do you remember those times?
When late in the cover of night
When the world would long be asleep
We would talk, laugh and weep
Do you remember those times?
When I'd call u without reason
And you'd patiently hear me out
Without anger, resentment or doubt
Do you remember those times?
When suddenly on a calm day
You'd hiccough for a minute or two
And I would be remembering you
Do you remember those times?
When I just won't talk enough
And without the slightest noise
You'd read out my silence
With a heart that wont beat nor yield
I have yielded to the beaten path
Searching eyes, brimming with hope
Fingers outstretched for someone to hold…

Is it written just 4 a friend ? I smell something beyond !!
the verse is written flawless. and as teens we all are, it took me back to my good , sweet , lovely , palpitating days.
"Searching eyes, brimming with hope
Fingers outstretched for someone to hold…"
loved the ending. so subtle and so deep.
CLASSIC read !!
