old friends

It's great to rediscover

something you thought you'd lost,

had slipped through the cracks

between the floorboards,

lost and forgotten.

To come back to it

take away the part thats rotten

and find you're left

with something beautiful,

perhaps more beautiful than before

now you've found a way to appreciate it more.

And then thats it,

you swear you'll never lose it again,

never throw it away 

or let it slip through the cracks,

because you're so glad to have it back.
