I MISS MY FRIENDS

I miss my friends

The friends who were

In my one hundred and one lives

I miss the laughs and the tears

I miss the dreams of breaking frontiers

I miss the smart and the dumb

The beautiful and the ugly

The kid with the thousand soldiers

The one who taught me to kiss

The one who knew how to keep a secret

And the one who couldn’t wait to give it away.

I miss the one who was there to challenge me

The blond blue eyed of my first crush

The geek who trained me in a chess match

The great actor who would end up in the movies

The bad one who ended up in the trash

The teacher who asked me to tell stories

The painter who began to write

I miss the singer who gave me her record

The pianist who now plays on boats

I miss the friend who was taken away

And the one who decided to fly

I also miss the one who turned his back on me

The one who extended his hand.

I miss them all, I miss my friends

The friends who passed through my life

All of them leaving fingerprints in my journal

A journal I may be forced to terminate.
