You rambled on, so full of news about yourself, heedless of my silence I wished i could say more than the occasional encouraging "hmmm" and obliging nod But i couldnt and i wondered why we still bothered to keep in touch when we had lost each other a long time ago |

But i couldnt and i wondered why we still bothered to keep in touch when we had lost each other a long time ago ================= so much said in so few well chosen words kaile... that one verse hols much impact and truth... and pain as well.... I relate to it well ...it is the way it feels when distance fills a friendship well done take care jm I looked into the sky for my anthem The words and music came through But words and music can never touch the beauty that I've seen Looking into you |

I think I've felt this feeling. I'm afraid more have felt it of me. Communication over the miles is not my strong point. If everyone had e-mail, maybe I'd do better. Don't know. One thing that amazes me, this is the communication age, yet we communicate more with strangers than with family and friends. |

This is so painfully honest, Kaile! It seems sometimes people just don't get it when a friendship is over, but do, as you say, ramble on in the mistaken belief that there is still something there. Well written. To love another person is to see the face of God. - Les Miserables Marilyn |

Kaile~ I believe all good gardener's know - 'You've got to tend the friendship's planted if you want to reap the bouquet.' Sad little write from you, my friend. *Hugs* ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

Concise and to the point... Karilea If I whisper, will you listen?... I would rather be silent and write, than speak loudly and be bound. KRJ |

i thank you all for reading and your replies make me see this situation in a better frame of mind... i have been reflecting and here is a sequel...you ramble on, i wonder sequel: enlightenment spending half the time listening to your endless rants, much like a soft-hearted lady compelled to the chains of a persistent salesman i used to despise us for not having the guts to call it quits til i suddenly understood it takes all kinds to be a friend, that i should be blessed and honoured you will still want to confide in me (after all that has changed) ashamed and humbled, i promise i will ask intelligent questions rather than the obligatory nod the next time you speak ask not what your friend can do for you, ask what you can do for your friend [This message has been edited by kaile (edited 12-18-2000).] |

Kaile... Why do we bother really? I guess the heart doesn`t always let go as it should... Loved reading this.. Ramses |

Oh no, again, I hope you're not referring to our friendship. But I do know what you mean here... It might be because they still want to maintain the friendship they have with you, and they don't know what to do but to let you know what has happened to them. I do it a different way though, I make my friend talk so I can find out more.  _,,,^.^,,,_ |
