Faraway Friends

It is a particular pleasure
To have a faraway friend
Or two
Or three
Or more
All special and unique to me



Saved stories
Eye opening discoveries 
Every moment together
A welcomed blessing



It is a particular pain
To know a piece of your heart
Is an ocean away
To know the milestones 
you WILL miss
The ones you're dying to share



Stolen moments
When by chance 
We can catch a quick glance
A distorted image
never quite the same



But when you're here 
Or I'm there
With no screens in between
No time or space has ever
Separated me from you

We're just as we were
A decade ago
Or more
When we cracked our first joke
Whispered our first secrets
Sealed the deal

To be forever friends
No matter how faraway



To know you is a particular pleasure
Well worth a particular pain
Until we are together again
