And loves from yesterday

You lead me to the man I spent my life with you taught me about friendship and trust and honesty

And sharing good and bad

I’m glad I talked to you today, my friend

A long time has passed but you didn’t seem different

I was comfortable talking to a friend I hadn’t seen for years

You didn’t remember me at first but it’s been a long time

And you’ve been gone

Grunions  still lighting up IB

Somehow I never again tried

Catching them in dress clothes
