Oh, to see his smile again
I always loved his laugh
He was from New York
And missed it terribly
But he fit in well here too
He introduced me to
The music of Genesis and
Gave me my first taste of sushi
I was in love but it wasn’t meant to be
He definitely had the city life in his veins
And I was young and naive
I will never forget the night it ended
Crying in his car in front of my house
I wanted to stay friends
But he was not so inclined
Even after more than 30 years
I still wonder where he is
And if he ever thinks of me
I do still catch myself
Looking at pictures of him
And the old feelings stir
I will always have
A place in my heart for him

You’ve written it so well Leigha. The feelings and emotions coming through clearly.
He was a great guy! Thanks Sadje!
You’re welcome my friend
Very nice! I will say, I too have someone from way back, that I wonder about.
Thanks so much. I would be willing to bet there are a majority of us that look back with wonder.
