Just want

 

Just want

 

Just want to see my friends

Want to give them a hug

We took it all for granted

Before this horrendous bug.

 

Just want to have a chat -

Want to share outpourings;

Want to share your news

Talk about a million things.

 

Just want to catch up

Want to share a glass of wine;

Put the world to rights

And need to know you're fine.

 

Just want to know how you feel.

We've all kept a stiff upper lip

And carried on like troopers

We sent our jokes and quips.

 

Just want your company -

Want to know how you've coped.

It's been so very long now

We've all begun to mope.

 

Just want some fun and laughter,

The simple things in life!

The things we took for granted

But can't because things are rife.

Just want to see your smile,

To listen and have a giggle!

Eat lunch or go for a walk

To discuss our silly niggles.

 

Just want to see my friends,

Want to be able to call,

To knock on your door

Not standing at the end of your wall.

 

Just want to see my friends

Spend some precious time,

The time we took for granted

For most of our lifetime.

 

Just want to share a pot of tea,

Talk over good things and troubles.

Want to know if your friends are ok

Within their own family bubbles.

 

Just want to see my friends

It's been on hold for much too long.

Not seen you all for ages

It really is prolonged.

 

Just want to see my friends

To know that you're all okay,

But this isn't going to happen

Until this virus is at bay
