Unfriend
I’m staring out of the coffee shop window
In a strange land
A pang in my stomach
Why didn’t I take anyone with me
No one to meet
From when I was 18
Right through to my 30’s and beyond
Until 40’s 50’s I had a new one
But he withered and died
Why didn’t I take them with me
I feel a pang inside
But each carried me
To where I am now…
Over choppy waters
Calm seas
Good times
And bad times
You are all a part of me
I’m staring out of the coffee shop window
In a strange land,
Thinking of you,
And hope you are too.
