The morning sun playing host to this meditation of sorts,
Carried out while running, gotta keep that engine at top notch,
Body’s poppin’, sweat is pourin’ while thoughts are out the gates racin’,
Almost as hard as its host body, the lungs and joints feeling wobbly,
Somehow the memory of you emerged from the abyss, how’d it come to this?
Been half a decade since our last meeting, got me wondering where you at and how you’re doing,
Feels like only yesterday when I ran into you by chance,
Sure was random and unexpected, been some time since we’d hung out last,
Chopped it up as we strolled through the park, picked up where we left for the most part,
Ain’t nothing changed, you and me were still the same,
That was before you dropped a revelation that I didn’t see coming,
That you’d just come from the courthouse, your delivery casual and straight-shooting,
Got caught up in some bad shit, details of which will be spared here,
It ain’t nobody’s business, plus your explanation was kinda unclear,
Not that I poked and prodded, your summation did suffice,
Your day in court went well, you added, for that thank Christ,
Asked for my number before parting ways, said you’d give me a buzz,
Life’s busy and the battle ain’t over, exchanged best wishes before you set off in a rush,
That was five years ago, ain’t heard from ya since that day,
Wherever you are now, I hope you’re happy and doing ok,
Should’ve got your number, talk about a massive blunder,
Didn’t want to keep you waiting, seemed like you had other engagements,
Hope all your troubles, if any, have been resolved and that you’re winning in life,
That you’d fight on and persevere if you’re ever in strife,
Stay on the straight and narrow, may you achieve your goals and ambitions,
Maybe we’ll cross paths again, stranger things have happened.
