If tears could build a stairway,
and memories were a lane,
I would walk right up to heaven
to bring you home again.
No farewell words were spoken
no time to say goodbye
you were gone before I knew it,
and only God knows why.
My heart still aches in sadness
and secret tears still flow,
what it meant to lose you,
no one will ever know.

IN TUNE
I don't remember when I first began To call you "friend." One day, I only know, the vague companionship that I'd seen grow so imperceptibly, turned gold, and ran in tune with all I'd thought, or dared to plan. Since then, you've been to me like music, low, yet clear; a fire that throws its warm, bright glow on me as on each woman, child, and man, and common thing that lies within its rays;you've been like wholesome food that stays the cry of hungry, groping minds; and like a star - a self-sufficient star - you make me raise my utmost being to a higher sky, In tune, like you, with earth, yet wide, and far. -Florence Steigerwalt

"I value the friend who for me finds time on his calendar, but I cherish the friend who for me does not consult his calendar." -Robert Brault

Finally, though, the jerk noticed her and came over and said hello. You should've seen the way they said hello. You'd have thought they hadn't seen each other in twenty years. You'd have thought they'd taken baths in the same bathtub or omething when they were little kids. Old buddyroos. It was nauseating. The funny part was, they probably met each other just once, at some phony party. --Catcher in the Rye
