Life - Neglected Friendships Poem by Paul Warren

I remember the smile on your dial
And how you would stay just for a while
But the time became hours all along
Whilst we laughed and sang our song
When I thought things wouldn't change
You were my best friend forever I'd explain

But time marches on for us all
And we drifted apart from each other's call
Our lives had different paths in what occurred
So years went by without a word
Until one day out of the blue
The telephone call said that your life was through.
