My Long Lost Friend

Poem written by Alejandra Marie

My Long Lost Friend

You know that feeling you get when you open up an old book with worn out pages and the smell of it permeates the air around you

Stimulating all your senses

And you just know the words on those pages changed the lives of the many who have held it in their hands before you

Inspiring you

Delighting you

Mystifying you

Changing you

Against all odds

Thoughts of you then spring to mind

You are that feeling to me

Home, familiar, beautiful in so many ways

A classic good soul with a heart of gold you tried to bury too long ago

Something so worthy to further explore and behold

A long lost friend

When the curtain comes down

When the veil is lifted

We can be ourselves

Forget what’s on the cover

What’s underneath

The space between the lines

Holds so much more wonder

Holding you close to my heart tonight

And forever more
