Two ships on the high seas,

Blinking lights in a world of grey,

We're miles apart,

Yet inches away.

I feel your pain,

You share my joy.

I confide in you,

You comfort me.

On one fateful day,

Our paths crossed; our stars aligned.

You entered my life,

And I, yours.

We laughed, we talked,

Sometimes for hours,

Our friendship deepening all the while.

When I failed in math,

You consoled me.

When you met injustice,

I was indignant for you.

I hear your foghorn calling,

I see your lights shining,

You brighten my way,

I add light to your day.

Years later,

When we meet for the first time, I wish we could say,

Hello! My friend!
