i once was lost

one of the great pains of my life is losing touch with those i love. such was the case with a dear friend from high school. you know i hated high school. it was a nightmare, save the few dear souls who befriended me.

one called tonight. he remembered everything. i was astonished.

i have looked for you for years,

he said.

i looked for you too,

i replied.

i thought i'd lost him. it is tough for me to know those i care for are out of touch. but it happens. years pass. sometimes, yes, sometimes, like tonight. we are found.

and all is well. i could not ask for more.
