I saw an old friend yesterday
It had been years but seemed like days
We didn’t hug like men sometimes do
Patting each other on the back signifying that’s long enough
We embraced each other
Because there was joy in reuniting
We had traveled the country together
New York, Miami, Dallas, LA
Phoenix, Minneapolis, Denver, Atlanta
Baltimore…
Sworn not to talk about Baltimore
Old friendships should be treasured
True ones are rare
Silence need not be filled with conversation
There are no uncomfortable pauses
Memories fill all the gaps
