It was after 10 PM,
the first time we met.
It was a small bar,
I'm still trying to forget.
I called her Helen,
she called me Dear.
Together for 6 months,
then she didn't appear.
I forgot about her,
after a few years.
I saw her again,
and she disappears.
What lessons are learned,
when a close friend goes away?
Don't get too cozy,
they probably won't stay.
