Dear Best Friend

Dear best friend, it's been ages we met, 
So long you have been around, months I bet.
Bear with me, it's no blame game, 
But us not talking is such a shame.
And we could sit over coffee, sipping old gossip.
Not staring into our watches, schedules can wait.
Watch life roll by, laugh over jokes we already know by heart.
Name calling, just thoughts, you and me, we on our girl date.
I'd listen intently, follow closely
Catch up on the strewn pieces of your life I had overlooked.
Regret that I hadn't been there so long, 
Feel rejuvenated, refreshed with you by side, strong.
And hey, I got loads to say,  
Tales and stories, how long can you stay? 
When can we meet? This Tuesday, next Thursday?
Bated breath, your OMGs, oohs and aahs can follow, hear me out, 
Tease me later, friendly banter, nag some more, just a bout. 
And we could reminisce school days, forgotten friends, 
So much has changed and we grew up,
Virtual conversations have been wearing me out. 
And I'd halt, look you in the eye, sit back, over psychedelic pop, 
Silent, contented to have you, and time can just stop. 
I might hug you tight, overwhelmed much, dizzy slight.
Stayovers have become history, when did we last fight? 
Dear best friend, where can we meet? 
Window shopping, your place or mine, or just a random quiet street? 
Cellphones aside, we'd talk like little girls, starry eyed. 
Dreams, crushes, disappointment, joy, how life had taken a toll, 
Play your old prank, and I swear I'm not gonna fall. 
Dear best friend, we're meeting this weekend, 
No excuses, deadlines, assignments, deadends.
Dear best friend forget ego, trace of growing resentment.
Tell me, would we ever meet? 
Or, I shudder to ask, have you found my replacement?
