I feel I lost my best friend this weekend

We went away as a four and left as a three

She was distracted and disengaged

We both felt shut out

Her hurt probably

But we feel it

So we drove away feeling sad and bereft

But we came home to a warm welcome from some of our newer friends

Randomly several different friends got in touch

And as we shared wine, beer, messages

I silently toasted the joy of new friendship

Vibrant interesting compassionate company

I look forward to fun and frivolity with them

But I still miss my best friend
