How it goes
so many know
It only takes
but a moment in time
to become blurred.
Path inferred -
Love deferred -
I see you now
with recognition
and blurred pixelation.
Once so close,
now my only knowing
is that you last viewed
"many days ago."
But how many days?
Are you still here?
Do you remember our
decadent nights?
And fearsome tribulations?
I do. And
I will always remember
how,
when others rained on my name,
you stood up for me.
I was not there
but would like to imagine
you, in your solitary position,
backed by a feisty demeanor,
telling the others collectively to
shut their mouths and
go fuck themselves.
I can only imagine the awkwardness
of that moment
but in there I was
so proud to have you as
my friend.
Your courage and tenacity
impressed me that day
and I swear I'll never forget.
Though we have not spoken in
many years,
now, looking at the scantly recognizable image of you,
I can only remember and rejoice
in the bond that cannot break
No matter how blurred
things become.
