renew old friendships

stealthily, the footsteps draw near
the door of my memories
ah…Remembering. It’s
clumsy fingers start
fumbling with lock and keys

wrong one, doesn’t fit the hole
the barrier stands
relentless
unyielding
Remembering growing frantic
must pass through
or else…

Was it given the right key?
this Remembering
that once chose to forget
memories and dreams meant
to change the world
one way,
this way,
or another
but no more

the other side, within
whisper half-forgotten dreams
growing softer, weaker
with each failed attempt
to turn the key

will they wait
and not fade
into oblivion
now that Remembering has
chosen
to set them free?

Not all of them, because some friendships fall away for a reason. But some people I’ve lost track of just because I haven’t been good about keeping in touch.

I bought a box of postcards a few weeks ago, and I’m going to be sending those out to some people, just a low key way to say hi. I know this is what a lot of people use Myspace for, but I can’t get over feeling like there’s something artificial about that whole thing.

i called up an old college buddy today…still cool, still crazy (in a good way), still gets me. i’m glad i called and will definately keep in touch this time.

Ok so I just e-mailed an old buddy…got contact info from my cousin, who lives in the same area. I think I will call a couple of old college buddies later on today

yeah. i don’t know. i have the info of an old HS friend, but i’ve yet to e-mail or call. i guess it’s in part because i don’t really feel like i have anything to say.
