Once upon a time.

He looked at me, with a grin that was more of a smirk, and said, "I have a lot of friends.... none of them are quite like you."

"Is that a good thing?"

"I think so."

....................................................

"Ask me if I'm going to miss you," he said, as he cocked his head to the side.

"Are you going to miss me while you're gone?"

"Yes."

Same smirky grin.

....................................................

Sadly, I haven't seen that smirky grin in awhile.

And you can't embrace a friend while keeping them at arm's length.

Goodbye, my friend. I'll miss you.

And I hope, this time, you'll miss me as well.

  2. You know the saying that friends come into your life for a reason, season, or a lifetime? I thought he was a lifetime. Seems I was wrong.

    (I hate that saying, by the way.)
