Paper (Past Pulp) v3

We have been friends since childhood.
I remember those things you forget.
I safe guard your memories.
I've taken you to far places
and fantastic adventures.
I listen to your stories
and cherish your poems.
I admire your sketches
and praise your art.
I fly your airplanes,
pass your notes,
kindle you fires,
record your days,
carry your homework,
play tic-tac-toe & hangman,
keep your secrets,
and clarify your thoughts.
We grew up together.
Don't allow this stranger to slip between us,
these electron driven ones and zeros.
