a hopeful revival

Unexpected

but a blessing.

Or at least what I hope will be one.

A surprise

because you were my best friend.

I've missed you for years.

Years that have felt like decades

like centuries

like forever.

This is a sign.

My sign

my reminder

that those who are meant to be,

will always find their way back.

So welcome home.

Welcome back, my friend.

Even after all these years,

you haven't been forgotten.

    Not that I

    need to.

    It's the middle

    of the night.

    But it seems
