Sonnet to a Childhood Friend

xiii.

I'm glad we did this tonight. At first
I wasn't sure. To tell you the truth, I
don't mix much these days, being at my worst
most times, with little to say or reply.
But I'm glad to hear your mother's well. Yes
I'm sorry about your divorce. So nice you
Found someone new. And how lucky and blessed
To have such a lovely daughter. You two
look so pretty. Remember those Sundays
When we would bounce in the back of the car.
When we'd hit the bump and then fly way
Up and hit our heads. So long and so far
Ago. I don't think on that anymore.
I'd forgot when I was happy before.
