My Lost Friend Poem by Debra Masky

Sitting in the bus on my way home,

I thought about us and the day we first met

It was your first time here

And I toured you around the small office

You spent with us such a short time

Yet grabbed everyone’s attention

You were a real gentleman

And spoke such sweet words

You were always ready to help

And came whenever I need





Then the day came for you to leave

Oh how I hated that day

For I knew that I would be bored

And would miss your presence by the day

I would miss your sweet chatter

And the work you did around the office



After a couple of months

I left that office too

And lost touch completely with you

I emailed you several times

But never heard from you

And always wondered why



Then one day….



It was a surprise to receive your call

You are so sweet to talk to me

And to tell me my fault

For I hurt you in anger and regret it,

And never knew in vain.



Thank you for forgiving me

And making me your friend again

I promise not to break this beautiful friendship

And keep friendship going strong again.
