Meeting an old friend!

Eyebrows rise. Vague memories roll down the alley of years. Recognition. A smile. The steps acquire a spring. The voice a joy. The eyes a gleam. The mind wanders into that land left far, far behind. Into those days. The days when not all was right. The days when the heart would wait for the end of yet another hard fought day. End, yes, but not because of the day being hard. But because each hard minute would fill those few moments in the evening with greater joy. Those few shared moments ...

... but I am here, now. And things have changed. You have changed! There is more serenity in your calm. More assurance in your movements. More vigor and energy. More vibrance. More intensity.

Yes, changed you have.

Or is it just me?
