can you call someone a friend
even though you don't even know his name
even though you've seen him on a regular basis
almost every day
and you talk to each other about the important things
like personal history and past misinterpreted expectations
besides all the disappointing experiences that have left
their little marks upon your ageless soul
mine too!
we are more alike than you know
despite the differences in back ground and one complete
generation gap
for time tells only the truth where the possibility of love is
concerned and each individual is not responsible for feelings
that can not always be returned..........
