Dear Friend

My heart
Is heavy
With all
My regrets.

Looking at pictures,
Old friends
Gone missing
For real
Or just
From my life.

Missing
The past
And all
I missed.
Old friends
Old places
Times
So, so long ago.

Full of regret
When I see
Your face
Only in pictures
Memories flooding
Back to me

Dearest friend,
How did
I let
It all slip away...

I am blessed
You are
So forgiving.
Love is real.

Drugs are not.
Time
Is the test...
