This is how much goofing together can make the greatest of freinds.

So much water

Has gone under the bridge

But some things

Are stuck on my mind

This is the reason

You are my friend for life

But I wonder

If you too can remember our deeds

Do you?

Can I remind you

 

We always went out at night

With the little pocket money we had

And danced the night away

You wriggled up and down

I shook my body and sweated

Do you remember that?

Only to walk back in the wee hours

Tired, broke and sober again

 

You put on your snickers

And we went for basket ball

You made some few moves

That were impressive

But let the team down at times

When you goofed

Then we would retire to our lair

And share a cigarette

 

Then there were those girls

That we used to chat about

Some were cute in all aspects

While others were the contrary

Then our little hearts

Were stolen from us

By some young girls

That we could not approach

Where are they?

I have the guts to pop the word now!

 

I hope you still remember

When I could not pop the word

And you came in with advise

On how I should handle her

I believed you then

And took you for a don juan

But I wonder my friend

How you could help me

And fail to help your self

Its was a goofy friendship

But it was real

 

Life my friend

Is so indefinable

I did not know

That the brief time we shared

Was all that we had

Can we ever meet some day

And do what we loved to do then

I was your better at table tennis

I wonder if I still am

Distance and time are so bad

For separating the greatest of friends.

    I love it, Denis. Friendships are precious!

    In the 3rd. verse, first line, I think you mean “sneakers” instead of snickers.

    It is interesting how time and space effects our friendships. There are the friends who you know will be a part of us forever and then the ones who we wonder what had happened, and maybe even why we were friends at all. Nice write!
