Pen pal

I’ve heard of friends with pen pals,
Whose mails travel thousands of miles.
It sounded like so much fun,
Oh, how I wished I had one.

Here in a foreign land,
I received a text from my best friend.
“Don’t brood over farewell,
I’ll be your pen pal.”

Excited like a little child,
My ideas started to run wild.
“Should I start with designing?
Or maybe I’ll start with writing.”

Reminiscing about old memories
Left me in wistful reveries.
A pen pal wasn’t so great after all,
I’d rather my best friend be with me through fall.

Too bad things aren’t within my control,
I pick up my pen to pour out my soul.
“I’ve heard of friends with pen pals,
Whose mails travel thousands of miles.”
