drop me a line and we'll cut and paste time for our memory collage. but you leave me swinging like a marionette. if you turn around, will i write you off? will i cut you loose? is it ever that easy? to speak words without words to a friend you don't know. to hide your smile because you fear it might be your last. we need to learn again how we were friends before the time and distance.      learning can be the hardest part.
