Friends are rare jewels and when they are gone we can't help but remember the good times you have shared. The poem explored effectively this theme. Thanks for sharing this excellent piece to the readers.

Thank you so much for your uplifting comments.
Comment from RGstar
You know I always have a feeling of fright when thinking about a long standing friendship, be it marriage, relationship, or animal. A certain bond that is broken through death. It has never happened to me. My mother, yes, but we had not that kind of long lasting bond I speak of, and though hurt, I cannot think what it would be like losing someone in the way I have explained. I know it will happen, and I am not looking forward to the pain.
My best wishes, my brother. Sending healing.
Have a good day.

Thank you brother. I have suffered the loss of my father, my mother, once sister, a very close cousin, my two favorite aunties. It has been devastating and I won't even mention the friends. Somehow you find the way to go on, through my poetry I write memorials to the memory of them.

A most heartfelt poem, Nomi. Those people that make a lasting impression on our lives also leave lasting impressions in our hearts. You've expressed this love and thoughts perfectly when reminded by events around your of their memory.
Very nicely written and it was my pleasure to review.

This poem is very poignant. I can so relate to it as I have been there, exactly the same situation almost four years ago but I still can't come to terms with it. Thank you so much for sharing. Greetings Jen.

Comment from evesayshi
In my opinion, a warm and loving tribute to a much loved friend, who may or may not have passed on - perhaps your experiences aren't tricks played on you at all, but her spirit's way of saying, "I'm still here and waiting, so we can move on together." Wouldn't that be a lovely thought - a homage written in easy and smooth movement...

Comment from Sandra du Plessis
A very well-written poem about a very good friend who died too soon and are still dearly missed. Sometimes the mind playing tricks on us when we think we hear or see the one we longing for.
