Here is a poem I wrote about a friend whom I met after over a decade!  I hope you like it!

Lost Friend

----------------------------------------------------

I stopped, and I stared

My neurons became restless

Hoping to find a face somewhere in memory,

A loving face from my past

To match with the face of the person in his forties

Standing before me with a vaguely familiar posture.

I know he is my friend

Whom I haven't seen for two decades.

But he is my friend I know.

Suddenly!

A match!

A moment of sheer joy!

A tight long hug, lest I lose him again!

Blending of the waves of our hearts!

I missed you so!

My dear, dear friend!
