Looking for poem on distant friends

[FarthestEdge]

I'm hoping the poetry lovers can help me here...

 

I am looking for a poem or prose about long-distance friendships, preferably something that alludes to the friends as family...

 

Can anyone recommend an author or a specific poem?

 

Thanks in advance....

Hello,

 

Well I hope this helps, I'm also a big fan of poetry especially about this topic so I found one that I think might be good. Let me know if you like it and I can also send you a link about this writer and other related poems:

 

 

We were close friends

 

 

I believed you were sent from above

I knew I could count on you

For anything I needed

And when I needed you most

you were always there

till the day you found love

And had to move away

But I knew you still cared

For we still can be friends

Only from a distance

Through phones lines we'd talk

Did not make the difference

We were still friends

Even though long distance

I do miss our sleepovers

And the pranks you'd pull

And our long talks and

Our laughs we used to share

And how you made me feel better

Just by being there

I miss you my friend

And I know you still care

We are friends forever

You and I

Friends till the end

The day I die.
