Friend

I'm not sure what you will mean to me.
I can't define our relationship
Until I know who you are.
Who knows when that will be...
If ever.

What I do know is
You are important to me
Right here,
Right now.
Even though you are
Way over there,
Across the airways.

You make me smile,
You help me laugh.
If I find out later
You are some 18 year old
From Paducah...
Well, I'll always have that fantasy
Of a person who was important to me...
Right here,
Right now.
