When chapters were written

long after stories were made.

A lasting photo of friends,

gathering their lives together.

Remember that pizza joint,

we swore by their deep-dish.

Back then when all our smiles,

held leverage in their moments.

The now was then, not today,

couldn’t predict what lay ahead.

So togethers again are on display,

all hopeful and brilliant lives.

Writing newer dialogue, scenes,

sweet serendipitous dreams.

Oh these memories hold truths,

for this nostalgic symbol is love.
