Hilly

Missing image
 
 
 
A message in a paper and one address,
I replied to her letter, the bond was to be
ours...forever.

We weren’t kids, this was no game,
she was the ‘sister’ I always wanted...
and

we both felt sixteen again,
letters...phone calls...
one day in town
shopping,
our lives intertwined...
 
that was a lifetime ago
and many, many words later
but...

communication lessened,
cards...calls more infrequent
with the passing of time,
our lives drifted apart...
 
but always...
 
still there for each other,
we never doubted
never questioned our friendship
and always...

just a phone call away,
“Hello”,
is all it takes...

she’s still my ‘best friend’,
we still giggle and remember
those days when we wanted to be sixteen
and now here on AP 
 
Thank you Hilly

Please stay.

    I like the twist you brought on this quote. Stay is always a word that is difficult to turn away from. You did this wonderfully.. I do hope she stays =)

    Aww Sue that was lovely! Gave me goosebumps!!

    What a lovely friendship you describe. Yes, they never hold the intensity they once did.. but knowing a friend is always there and you can fit back together despite time apart.. is a wonderful thing.

    Beautiful!

    Yes friendship is a wonderful thing! To be there for each other in times of trouble... or just to have a giggle together! Great stuff! Good luck in the contest!

    The sign of a real friend is not the need to be forever in each others company but to both be there when the time is right Never asking why so long to get in touch but knowing that they are there And picking up exactly where you left of when you were last together Excellent Good luck in the contest

    A very touching and beautifully-worded tribute to both friendship itself and a particular friend.

    There are few who can say they've held the bond of friendship for as many years as you two have and it's made so much more special by the fact Hilly became the sister you never had. As you so rightly describe here, time and distance will never fade real friendship.
