Written In A New York Minute by Chris Sorrenti
It never gets any easier
watching a dear friend
fight the battle of her life
And as helpless as you are
can take comfort at least in
you’ve let her know
she’s not entirely alone
Whereas unlike the previous
who begged me to come over
in the middle of a pandemic
But I refused - afraid
as it was just too dangerous
unknowing my last chance to see her alive
If this new friend needed my assistance
goes without saying
I’d be there in a New York minute
What a terrible way to learn and grow
