Another Time, Another Place

I close my eyes, you are here.
Laughter of long ago yesterdays,
echo's in my mind,
as we walk together in silence....
We traveled this same path together,
in another time, another place...
Shoulder to shoulder ,
we faced the uncertainties of the day.
Side by side ,
we fought the darkness of the night.
Our lives,
bound together in that moment,
traveled a different path,
and I missed you.
I never said, "So long!"
I never said, "Take care!"
Alone with my thoughts,
I whisper to you..
"Rest, my friend. 
Your journey is over.
Watch for me,
so we may walk together again....
In another time, in another place."
