Being There


If you loved me
I would be crazy for you,
when you are close to me
I am in your arms;
main thing I like
is a sweet heart nearby
that can kiss me
into the night
into the night,
another thing I like
is a woman
that is as real as the night,
that doesn't pretend
that she knows how
to be a friend,
but is honestly and sincerely a friend
being there in that moment,
a friend,  a friend,
no time to pretend,
a real friend.

I tried to make my first wife my friend. She told me if I wanted a friend I should go buy a dog. After she said that, I told her I thought of her as one. I meant 'friend' (a), not 'dog' (b). She took it as 'b' and soon after became my first wife.

More feelings and fewer words please

Thank you Ari for reading and responding...maybe I am writing this in part because of some lingering thoughts of my ex-wife...james
