Old Friends Band - When Will We Meet Again

Описание: Way before the internet's instant communication, long distance relationships were appropriately labeled "pen pals". Having backpacked one summer through Europe I was fortunate to establish new friendships. Our "letters" were Aerograms, prepaid blue document purchased from the post office, just compose, fold, address and mail. Through our writings we forged close relationships. And yes, there was anticipation waiting for responses.
"Please Mister Postman, check it and see if there's a letter for me!"
"When Will We Meet Again" was based on one of my traveling buddies who actually ended up marrying the woman we met on our first day on the road. With literary license I imagined a different ending. I supposed life's unplanned challenges and events consistently prevented getting together. Schedules never in sync, miscommunications, school, jobs, illness, family affairs. Seemingly all good intentions coming to naught, plans constantly being thwarted.
But never out of hope of being together.
We have spent the years in letters
Countless words held us together,
I know where you are
So close yet so far.
And so I ask,
When will we meet again?
