An Old Friend

On the spot poem about old friends

What a strange feeling it is to

See an old friend.

You walk on past each other,

With half a glance

Or else you smile politely,

And wave a hand.

Then you speculate over

What could have been.

Funny how some friendships fade if not nurtured and others you can not hear from for years and on meeting its like time never passed! Nice write!

Thank you!
It's strange. Makes you wonder which ones were even worth your time to begin with.

a great observation...old friends often become mere acquaintances when we don't make time for one another...well-said

Thank you. I feel like this happens too much in the wold these days.

It does feel strange sometimes, or the glance and then they look away. Shame that ppl don't stop more often to 'catch up'. I relate to this one.

Thanks for responding :)
I think people should 'catch up' more. It wouldn't hurt to say hi more often.
