Hey everyone, just so that you know, I think this is one of the most messed up poems I have ever written. I wrote it for a friend (I hope) and will give it to her on Monday...

I told you what was on my mind,
then, suddenly, you turned blind,
blind with anger and hate towards me,
what I did wrong, I fail to see,
all I did was give you honesty.

But I guess that is why
I never did it before,
look what it did...
made you hate me much more.
I will never do it again
cause it made me loose you,
friends that are precious,
friends that are true,
and even if you don't feel
the same towards me,
you'll always be friends
in my mind that is free,
free in this world
of living poetry.

I wish I could say
I will be like before,
I want to with all my heart,
from te outside to the core,
but sorrow has made
a new home in my heart,
he planted his seeds,
anger and pain, not far apart.
They have grown very strong
and their roots are very deep,
I can't get rid of them
that is why I keep
them locked up in side
together with the tears I hide.

What I ask from you now
is to look at me again
and to realize it's me
and that I'm still you friend.
What I ask from you now
is to forgive me if you can
for being my flawfull self,
for being who I am.

I can't expect you to understand,
I can't expect you to see,
that what I have written here
is a part of me
you will never understand,
you will never be.

Waves...amazing hey? Wind blowing over smoothe ocean water creates shear. The longer the wind blows, and the futher the fetch, the more energy gets transferred from the wind to the water. What started off as a breeze 1 000km away, ends up as a glass-faced barrel at some far off beach.

I hope all goes well for you on Monday.   I want you to realize that this person wasn't a true friend to have reacted this way to you. True friends never throw away a relationship over anger. All relationships are rocky and need to be worked at but you also need to be able to see the difference between true friends and false ones.

Again, I hope everything works out for you.



When you are old and grey and full of sleep,
And nodding by the fire, take down this book,
And slowly read, and dream of the soft look
Your eyes had once, and of their shodows deep;

How many loved your moments of glad grace,
And loved your beauty with love false or true,
But one man loved the pilgrim soul in you,
And loved the sorrows of your changing face...

William Butler Yeats
