On Notice

 I miss the bonding that started

Some of the fragile friendships

Even the not so cohesive acquaintances  

That dotted my I’s or crossed my T’s

I miss what the previous year brought my way

But then took and left me with my face in my hands

I miss not having the not so reliable pop ins to look forward to

And I am glad that some of the one way streets lessoned their value

And showed their true heart

There were some who made me grind my teeth

Made me question my existence

Till this day still, there are a few that haven’t disconnected

But have stepped away

That just saying their name makes me smile

This is life giving and taking

And this is me noticing
