So Good To See You Again
A dear friend stopped by today,
been so long since he went away.
With just one look, he made me smile,
even though it had been a while.
Sitting there with a cup of brew,
only me, the coffee and you.
Sweet thoughts drifting in my mind,
before we left our love behind.
Wonderful to see you again,
not seen you since I don't know when.
Lets share the moment tenderly,
and make just one more memory.
I'll hold you tight, then let you go,
it is only for us to know.
We can not forget, love buried deep,
within my heart, your love I keep.
Will you come back, I do not know,
when you're away, time moves too slow.
The loneliness again appears,
for you're not here to wipe my tears.

Hi Sis ~ When I saw this and started reading it I thought Charles had stopped in to see you. But then I realized it was someone else. That's the great thing about online friends...they can visit early in the morning or late at night and share a cup of coffee and some memories whenever they feel the urge to talk...no matter how far away. Of course, the last line is the sad part. They can't be there to wipe your tears. Beautifully written. perfect rhyme and flow. Good luck in the contest.

This one line disrupted the flow to me, "it is only for us to know." I'd add a "two" in there before "to."
But this was a really beautiful poem full of memories and plans for the future. Very sweet. I also picked up (mainly from that line) that it was a bit like a secret meeting perhaps. Very interesting and beautiful piece. -
So sweet and sad. Meetings like this usually are like that. Seems you write about a ray of hope. Great work.

very nice piece of poetry, the rhyme came over a little forced in one place but we all know how hard good rhyme is
I really like the background to this too, it adds to the overall feel of distant days etc.
