When someone remarks they've missed seeing you

When they never really have - it makes you blue ...

Because the only real friends are ones who show

Their presence to you, in other ways than a hello



In a phone call, electronic mail, or greeting card

... All may be wonderful, but it makes quite hard

To assess value to what you have, under the stars

So, if you have someone who means a lot, at large



Then ... get together with them, and make real friends

Show them how much you care ... and how you blend

Take your heartfelt feelings that much closer to reality

And become at one with them, making two ... three!!!



You, them .... us!!!!



- Tristram
