NaPoWriMo Day 3: A simple rhyming charm

In my case this is inspired by a girl who was my best friend from 7th grade through 11th grade before we drifted apart our senior year.

A Charm Against Loneliness

Cool and crisp Montana air
Filling lungs and blowing hair
Sunshine on familiar faces
Sharing tales of high school places
Laughing like no time has past

Wondering where it's gone so fast.

Not seeing wrinkles here and there
Nor noting gray in the other's hair

Just two old friends, but not so old

Too entertained to feel the cold

Girls again, years fall away

Just because one called to play.

And the poem I wrote before I read the prompt: 

Already Gone

"And-then-I-hope-to-go-out-for-drinks-between-shows,-you-know,-if-Shannon-is-up-for-it.-I'm-positively-giddy-with-the-thought-of-watching-you-perform!-Not-to-mention-adult-company-and-a-night-off-of-baby-duty."

I said 

to the space 

my husband used to occupy.

I don't know how to indicate that everything in quotation marks is to be said in one breath. I hope I conveyed that with my punctuation.
