With a warm and loving feeling deep in my heart <br />I welcome you this moment right from the start. <br />We haven't seen each other for such a long time <br />I do hope you will appreciate hearing this rhyme. <br /> <br />Many things happened during the long break <br />it was almost as if our friendship was at stake. <br />Yet somehow love has found a way to bring us together <br />I'll never forget this moment and will cherish it forever. <br /> <br />I vaguely remember the time of our last meeting <br />so please bear with me now this overdue greeting. <br />Though time hasn't diminished the joy I still feel <br />being with you is the only moment which is real. <br /> <br />You are the true friend anyone wouldn't like to lose <br />your presence in my heart and mind I couldn't choose. <br />Some say that familiarity usually breeds contempt <br />but our relationship is such that we do not resent. <br /> <br />You need me just as much as I need you <br />and are with me always - how very true. <br />We are the lover and beloved and love is our game <br />of separation and reunion being eternally the same.<br /><br />George Krokos<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/friend-s-reunion/
