Salma Massoud

Near the Great Pyramid
My friend so far away
I wonder how you are
What thoughts mingle with your tears
And what dreams shine with your smiles

How I wish I could see you near
Rather than only virtually
Ever so far from me on this sphere
But plugged into my heart

Thinking of you
My dear friend
Who lives so far away

Wish you were here
With me now
To see you smile
When I say hello
In person
For the first time
