There's a friend you once had, who you've not called or written to in years.
Both your lives just diverged, you moved on, and they slipped into the past.
Sure you think it'd be nice to catch up on your passions and careers,
Your new lives, and the friends you both made since you saw each other last.

Now and then, you do wonder what they think
About you, where you've been, and what you feel.

Are you sad? Are you glad? Do you miss the connection you once had?
Are you dead? Have you shed your shared past to move on alone instead?
Is it woe? Do you know what has kept you from calling long ago?
Are you scared if you dared to write now, they might think you never cared?

You might say you're not lazy but ashamed.
If they can't tell the difference, is there one?
