Friendship…Between the Lines
By Larry Chadwick


I watch you from a distance,

I am always here for you
Observing what you do.
I am always here for you
Knowing the choices are yours,
I am always here for you
And always trusting you.


The struggles are not easy,

I am always here for you
Know one ever said they are.
I am always here for you
But it doesn’t mean I like it,
I am always here for you
As I observe you from afar.


You know I’d like to help you,

I am always here for you
And you know I have advice.
I am always here for you
But that doesn’t make me right,
I am always here for you
Just because I want to be nice.


So I do what I seldom can,

I am always here for you
And just offer a helping hand.
I am always here for you
You know I’d rather fix things,
I am always here for you
And do whatever I can.


It seems I am learning more from you,

I am always here for you
From watching how you choose.
I am always here for you
It’s not exactly how I’d do it,
I am always here for you
But if I risked our friendship…I’d be the one to lose.


This was harder than I thought,

I am always here for you
More complicated than it seemed.
I am always here for you
You have much to offer,
I am always here for you
Much more than I ever dreamed.

How well you expressed a personal situation for me... And perhaps I understand better what is happening. Thank you.
I found your format artistic and a beautiful enhancement to this wonderful work.
Much appreciation, ThisDiamond

Larry~

I agree its hard to step back and look at a bad problem, and not be able to really speak your mind....believe me when I say I so understand this....thank you for reminding me what real friends are....

Step through the
barrier of my mind,
enter my soul,
feel my desire,
let my eyes guide you
into the shadows
of my heart

TD,
The test of true friendship. But worth the effort. Hang in there and thank you so much for your kind words.

Noah,
And a true friend you are as well. Thank you for your faithfulness.

Lauren,
Or...to speak your mind without need for comformity. Friendship is indeed a critical element of life. I can't imagine living without it.

You are the forever kind of friend everyone needs, the brother every sister wants. And you have a really cute sexy smile too.
