Dear Old Friend, I fondly remember all those amazing nights we had. Getting all bundled up on those tranquil winter eves and just staring into the abyss of nothingness. I’d ponder the future and about how endless the possibilities were, while you serenely planned the evening. Finally, you’d tap me…
