gusting wind
rustling the trees
a pitch-dark walk

we've drifted apart over the years
not that we were super close
but we used to see each other more
before we moved so far apart.
A 'like' on Facebook
and a Christmas and birthday card
aren't really a substitute for a smile
and the press of a familiar hug.
Sometimes I worry one of us will die
before we ever say hello again.
