I knew you long ago,
Now I know you again. 

I love you both,
and I thank you.

Kind words and scarlet cheeks,
Hair trimmings and chocolate cake.

And although you live far from my home,
I can't help feel you're where I've been.

I expected us to be distant,
Not having seen you in years.

But friendship doesn't ever die,
and I appreciate those years.

They made me grow fonder of you two,
When we reconnected.

I'm glad I could spend that week with you,
And I won't forget you as long as I live.
