It had been a while
A while since we first met
The fun, smiles, laughter, excitement
Convivial companionship
The message came through
Yes, yes I remember!
A plan to meet
Anticipation builds, memories swirl
The time comes, the time passes
No message, no word
Connection missed
Was it a dream?
Fearsome Beard 
Ugh. I hate being stood up too.
That reminds me, we need to meet for coffee again soon.
