Dear Beloved,
I really could use your friendship right about now,
these last months, not to mention the past year,
have been very difficult for me.
Beloved, tell me if I'm wrong,
but a friend is someone who is always happy to see you.
A friend builds up and celebrates the right in your life,
And knows the exact words to say when you're wrong.
Beloved, I could use your all-consuming empathy,
and simply let your voice ease some of the troubles
I now feel.
Maybe tomorrow or maybe next week I'll get to see you.
I'm not desperate, yet my heart is despairing.
Beloved, the last week of my life has been really tough,
but with a friend like you I know I will make it through.
Love,
Mark
