I miss my best friend;
She brought adventure to my life
We hiked Machu Picchu and Kokoda,
Tasted dumplings in dippings
at Holy Duck! in Kensington.

We were close for eight years:
Preempting needs - bringing her back a lg, skinny cap
after my morning walk around the Kirribilli shoreline.

But somewhere along the way,
I lost myself in her —

Love turned to hate.
She didn't see me, need me, want me anymore
And it became too late…

I miss her!

Well,
The idea of her anyway...
