I love you my friend,
Though you are far away.
I love you my friend,
In so many ways.

I do not recall.
I can?t tell you when
This love it did grow
Or how did it begin.

But your words reach across
The miles that do separate
It?s your friendship I cherish
And want to celebrate

The everyday moments
That together are spent
The times that we laugh,
The times that we vent.

I want you to know
That however apart
You always will have
A place in my heart.

Message from the author: I wrote this poem earlier this year. It goes out to all my friends who may be far away from me or may have left my life to go on to another chapter of their's... like in the song by Michael W. Smith... "Friends are friends forever if the Lord's the Lord of them." True friends will never leave your heart or heart's memories.
