We met by accident
On a warm, windy morning.
You just came to help
It’s something you always do.
We became good friends
And hung out many times.
You drove me around
Showed me places I should know.
I met your family
You met mine.
We even worked together
Although in different sections.
After three years
I had to leave.
You were staying
But I’ll see you again someday.
--
We would meet again
On a warm, windy afternoon.
This time by design
And our friendship blossomed.
For many years
We were best of friends.
You helped me with your wisdom.
I helped you keep your sanity.
You showed me around your place.
I showed you around mine.
You met my extended family.
I went to visit yours.
Again, after three years.
I had to leave.
You were remaining.
But I’ll see you again someday.
--
Will we meet again
On a warm, windy evening?
So we can talk about old times
And dream about the new.
Just sit on a bench in a park
Talking for hours on end.
Of course if that does happen
It will be in heaven.
Because after I left
You got sick and died.
I felt bad I was not there
To talk one last time.
As fate would have it.
This time you had to go
And I was remaining.
But I’ll see you again someday.
