Old Friend (Free verse) by drnick

Dear old friend of mine How I've missed you time-to-time In the back of my mind You've been stowed Won't you sing me a song I found my dreams are long gone Somewhere in a letter I told you so My mind cannot fathom Even in post-graduate fashion Just how or why I let you go And as surely as I Won't let our memories die Is as surely As your distance grows

I like this alot but the last line seems like it's just a filler. Everything else is so personal and sincere that the last line with it's cliche`ness comes across like a Halmark card. Maybe something like "Is as surely as your distance grows".
