We met through mutual friends
And have been
Through thick and thin
Ever since.
What happened to
Those days when
We could go out
And treat
Each other to dinner
When we had no dates
To double with?
Now that I think about it,
Sick parents,
Needy children,
And job responsibilities
Took center stage
In both our lives.
Phone calls and email
Are the only way
We communicate these days,
Because life now dictates
Our free time.

Nice one! I feel like this sometimes, but I think we really *let* life dictate our free time. We should try to organize our time better, but sometimes it’s so hard when other obligations come up.
I enjoyed this.
You’re right but I’m trying my best to have a little more control over my life.
