Hello gorgeous friend …

I really miss your smile

I wish, I wish with all my heart

We could stop and chat awhile.

I’d buy (or make) a coffee

And I’d listen while you spoke

And the reasons why you are my friend, our coffee would invoke.

But the miles and miles of distance

Or our busy, busy lives

Mean that coffee’s out of the question

We’ll just have to survive

On the connection that us mums can have even when we are apart

Know today as everyday … You are always in my heart.

Too true, we are all so busy it is hard to keep in touch. True friends are the ones you can call after weeks, months or even years and just pick up where you left off:)

I really miss my friend. This poem would be ideal for her. We went to Thailand together and it was an amazing experience. Since we no longer work together and she has reconciled with her partner and they have moved in together we hardly talk anymore as I’m single. I guess sometimes you just need to squeeze
In that bit of extra time and be the first one to make efforts
