Old and good friends share a piece
of passion, pain, and pleasure
that no one else, no family can
begin to know or treasure.
It's as if a secret room
held their private store,
and every time they met, they could
go through some special door.
It doesn't matter if they see
each other every day,
or years and years go by before
they come and go away:
The moment that they meet it all
is there--the memories of
fierce loyalty and times of need
and gratitude and love.
