Sonnet for a Friend

O, How should I call you; acquaintance? friend?
When in mind's eye you're more than that to me?
And should my feelings for you ever end,
It's end for all and all that is to be.
So, friend, tho' we should remain divided,
And in spite of fondness, remain apart.
This is the life which we have decided,
In fullness friendship always in our hearts.
Time has proven time's grace is forgiving,
And each road's fork towards this moment bent.
True I've found that life was meant for living,
and sweet memories ever present, sent.
For in reaching the student learns to teach,
And I have learned that mem'ries fondly reach.
