Are Not There

You never know how much you care
about someone
until they are not there,
then you realise
they mean more to you
than you originally thought.
When they are many miles from you,
your emotions kick in
and you really start to worry
what has happen to this friend.
You hope and pray
they are all right,
that nothing bad
has happen to them.
Then unexpectedly they contact you.
You are relieved
more than you can say.
