Unfulfilled Promise

It seems like only yesterday
We met with excitement
Hugs, smiles and plans
All hastily executed to make up
Time seemingly lost
Like there is no morrow
Though frail, I awaited
Your return in the quarter
To execute all the plan
The most unexpected
News delivered with a thud
Momentarily my heart stood
Fare thee well my friend
Our rendezvous will be fulfilled.
