will i ever . . .


will i ever see you again?
your hair, your face,
the smoothness of your skin,
everything about you.
will i ever hear you again?
your sweet, harmonic voice,
singing like an angel
that hovers above my shoulder.
will i ever be friends again?
your hugs, encouraging smile
your pats on my back,
a true friend you are.
will i ever be near you again?
just to hear you,
see and feel your presence
of being a wonderful friend.
