...happened today.
I reached out, for help
To a Man I haven't seen in years,
Who was so important in my life
As my "boss", for
an eternity of time.
I called him, asked if I could see him,
Meet me at one o'clock, I said,
at Starbucks
and he said, "Okay" (!)
and we met, and we hugged
out on the sidewalk,
he said "Look at you, you look great!"
and we talked, about
what our work was like, for us,
and what our relationships
there, meant to us.
We talked about people we knew, for years,
people with misfortunes,
bad tempers, bad ideas, good hearts --
people who'd died, people who made us laugh,
and some who still do.
And in our talking, we made friends as we never had
in all the years we worked together
And he said what I'd meant to him,
by telling me what my work was like,
and what my character was, and is still...
and he looked into my eyes
and I looked into his,
and we were Friends, forever.
