No Longer Internet Friends

No Longer Internet Friends.
Tanner Olson of Written to Speak.
Memories fade and distance grows.
Life moves on and so it goes.
You post and I’ll never know.
I’ll change and you’ll never see.
I guess our internet friendship was never meant to be.
And so it goes and neither of us will ever know.
And so it goes.
And so it goes.

And I couldn’t wear jeans.
And you know I was not about to wear cargo shorts.
And so I made what I needed:
Cut off jean shorts.

Written to Speak

Community invites us to change and hope and dream.
It is in community where we hear we are forgiven and loved and welcomed.
But what I love most about community, is it allows you to be seen and known.
Seen and known.
