My Friend

 

I lost my friend

It disappeared in an explosion

Of time and space

Too much time

Not enough space

 

It’s funny how you pick your friends

And sometimes

The more you pick

The more they grow

 

This one was kind of cheeky

Full of life

Like two people

For the price of one

 

But alas

My friend is gone

Off to another place

To find a different path

 

I’ll miss that friend

For it was a marker on time

A special time

Where friends could have become so much more

 

They say it fades

I’m not so sure

Two weeks, a month

The passage of time

 

But no, once that explosion happens

All bets are off

Or rather are all in

 

And then you fully find out

How to really pick your friends
