A poem on friendship revisited

Stumbled upon this poem that I wrote awhile back, but its always good to read it again. I also edited some of it, changed words, punctuation, etc.

"Friendship"
Yesterday is unforgettable, so many great memories from past days and nights.
Sometimes we laughed, sometimes we hugged; sometimes there were even pillow fights.
A dozen years ago I never knew your name; I did not know who you were.
We were young, little, and where we all would end up no one knew for sure.
Our journeys began in different worlds, the dawn of a friendship we did not know.
Not too long ago our paths merged into one, side-by-side and ready to share the road.

Today, it is hard to imagine life without your laugh or smile.
You should know that you are not alone; I am always by your side, every step, every mile.
Right now we are getting through life with each other and friends,
Each day has its ups and downs, always showing us new twists and bends.
Although we are not always near each other, you know I am never far away.
The days go by and time flies, but if you need someone, you know I’ll stop and stay.
It hurts to watch you get down, to know that you are sad.
Seeing it from the outside looking in is hard; I wish I could make the pain not feel so bad.
Sometimes we get lonely, but we always have someone to turn to.
This is not something that happens every day; this friendship is true.

I fear for tomorrow, the days when our exits off this highway are not the same.
We may be in different worlds once again, with only our life destinies to blame.
Sometimes tears fill my eyes when I think of those days of tomorrow.
The days without lunches, backhands, hugs, walks or someone to pick us up when we feel low.
The future is bright for us; so much promise and so much hope from year to year.
Our friendship will always hold a special place in my heart, ever so near and dear.
Yet, I hope the day will never come where I miss these days, when I really miss seeing you.
But it does not matter what happens, my love and trust is unconditional; I am always here for you.
