Forever, only a day

So long ago we were friends

Now we're barely anything at all

We ran far, from each other

And everything that entailed

Sometimes

while we hid from the other

I'd think of something

only you would get

or care about

just to remember

that you're not here

been in the brig again

been promoted once more

I waited for you to appear

and bail my butt out

of my latest troubles.

I waited for you to come

screaming round the corner

To tease me and then

to say I deserved it.

both of us waiting

just going through the motions.

Waiting for two years

Till fate had had enough

Now here we are

Are we friends? Are we soldiers?

Ranks, a divider of friendship

The banter is coming back

As if the time apart was never there

The things unspoken

The death, the inadequately dealt with grief

Maybe this time we won't hurt the other

Maybe this time things will turn out right

And we'll stay friends

Forever, though it may last only a day.
