About the Poem

Every once in a while, someone contacts you while you are online & you hit it off, right from the start. This person becomes your best friend, and then, for one reason or another, with a click of a button, they are gone, and you never hear from them again. This person is truly missed, more that they will know.

At Random

It was at random that we met,
A chance that not many get.
When I heard the "Uh Oh",
How was I to know!
That you would turn out to be my special friend,
Someone who could be there,
Until the end.

No matter how I feel or what I do,
I know, in my heart,
That I can count on you.

I've never seen you,
Heard you, or touched you.
Those kind of chances are very few.

To meet someone from far away,
Never knowing if they're here to stay,
Not knowing if what they say is true,
Of what they're doing and telling you.

So far away, but yet so near,
The "not knowing" is the fear.
Is it truth, or is it lies?
Will a heart grow, or will it die?
Either way, the bonds of Friendship's strings are tied.

One's needs are met,
Some with regret.
Some with hope,
Some with pain.
But still, the answer is plain.

If we hadn't met,
On that very day,
Things would be different
In every way.

The emptiness may be filled,
A life may start to rebuild.
A heart may be broken,
Or made to mend;
All because of that
"Random Friend".

I had this poem sent to me by someone who I truly did meet "At Random" on line. As in the poem; we have never met, maybe never will, but over the last three years a growing trust has replaced the 'is it real and is it true' concerns that are so well expressed, and so well illustrated by form . . . But I'll stop there because this is "not a critique". If the emotion expressed in this poem is not, at least in a large part, true - then 'Cheeky' would make an excellent advertising copywriter if not a poet. davidJ
