A Quarter Past Two

I remember when we were younger.
When you were barely 4 foot,
I was 4’8.
You called me your best friend,
I never stopped you.

We got older,
Time stole you.
You called me once a year,
I hear voices over the line,
‘Happy birthday’.

I saw you at Christmas last year.
Smiling ear to ear,
Dimples deep at the corners of your mouth.
You haven’t aged a bit,
You’re hardly 5 foot.

I curse time,

Time stole you.


But you still smile the same,
Hardly 5 foot.
Your voice still squeaks,
You still have those big front teeth.
You’ve hardly changed.


Perhaps time stole me…?





Everyone’s still walking,



When did I get so far behind?
