Hello Again Poem by Ilana Friedman

It’s not that I don’t love you.
It’s not as if I don’t care.
I just didn’t think I’d miss you this much
or that our friendship would still be there.

It’s strange to feel the way I do,
like I can’t get you out of my mind.
You’re always in the back of my head
though I can’t imagine why.

We picked up right where we left off,
sharing secrets and making fun of our lives.
It’s amazing how easy it was to do
and how we didn’t even have to try.

And as unlikely as our friendship may be,
I’m glad you are always there for me.
