Hello and thanks in advance for any assistance here...

As a young man I read a poem about two old friends who corresponded (I think in writing) all of their lives, always with the intention of getting together again. Unfortunately, they procrastinated until one of them died. As an "older" man, the concept (even though I can't remember the words or author) rings very true in my own life. I would very much like to find that poem again and be able to share it with others BEFORE it's too late.

If anyone can help I'd greatly appreciate it.

Thank you!

A wild guess, (and I don't know what period you might have in mind, giles) - but how about Robert Browning?

It's the kind of thing he might have done in one of his "dramatic monologues"
