Another dear friend
lost to this world
Her last message to me,
with a continent between us, was,
“Can’t talk right now: I’m on my way.”
Did she confuse me with someone else?
Or was there a deeper meaning?
Just in case, I’m paying attention;
watching for
yet another familiar pair of eyes
looking back at me
when I gaze up at the stars at night.
