Once Upon A Time

Once upon a time,
Back when we were young,
Before real life got in the way,
Before our grown up jobs,
Before most of our added bills,
Before we grew up into the adults we are now...

My first BFF and I used to go shopping,
At one of two malls, which became our stomping grounds.
We first started during our college years,
And continued into our early and mid twenties,
When I would come back home and see her,
Or we would take a weekend day to shop, eat, and hang out.

It was such a good day, as we did this once again,
With good weather, good company,
As we hit multiple stores that were in walking distance.
We both had some gift cards,
And I started Christmas shopping,
And she did some retail therapy after a rough month.

Change is hard, and we no longer can do this often.
But once in awhile it is nice to revisit juvenile times,
And spend time with someone you no longer see as often.
Because no one can take away what we once had,
And no one can separate us from our friendship,
No matter how times have changed and evolved.
