"Meant to Be?"

The two of them belong to other people
Yet there is an unexplainable connection
From the first time they "met"
She knew her heart needed no protection

A special friendship this is indeed
One that is amazing and rare
She just felt it was time to show how she felt
To show just how much she does care

Hundreds of thousands of miles seperate them
Oceans and mountains galore
So how come her heart feels as though it does
Like there's something she's suppose to explore

How can you be totally in love with one person
Yet still feel something for another
It's enough to drive a girl crazy
Really makes a person wonder

So in the words of this poem
All she does express
For she realizes with an amazing friendship
She has been completely blessed

Though they can never be together
Not in any real sense that is
Her mind continues to ponder
With a million what ifs

These thoughts she shall though lay to rest
Finally on paper, she has been set free
Knowing in her heart
Some things are just meant to be?

No matter how many miles or mountains are in the path.....it is never enough to stop a heart of caring on it's destiny.  Wonderful write from you and the beauty of your own heart shines in this one well.

If you find yourself stranded in a storm
...then reach for my hand and we will play in the puddles together

Wonderfully put.  The situation is frequent in many people.  I enjoyd it a lot.

Hey Aims...you know, I always love the endings of your poems.  But, anyway, very powerful write here, m'friend.  I love it, but you know that!

I loved this poem.  It's sad yet poetry can relieve so much of that load.

more sincere beauty from your sweetly inspired pen Amy-girl ...
and meant to be is just that ... "meant to be" ...
we cant make it happen ... we have to allow it to happen ...
take care sweets


Tomorrow holds only mystery
And who's to say what might be
But in you I've found a love so strong
The sun and the moon look on in jealousy

Amy, Hon I love the way you express yourself, this is written beautifully from your heart and well what a beautiful heart you have my dear.

Your friend is very lucky to have your friendship and ya know I bet your friend knows that  

and I am sure your friend too, is thinking "what If"  Distance can never stand in the way of caring for a special person, or a rare friendship.  

Love it my dear

Beautiful writing my friend.  There are a million questions throughout life, but if it is meant to be it will.  Time reveals all.  Best of luck to you.

Thank you all for your kind and sincere
comments. As always you've each touched
a place deep within my heart. This was
just something I felt I needed to post.
The person who its for knows how I feel.
My only hope is that things work out
as planned...but I'll leave that up to
fate. As a wise woman once told me  
some things really are meant to be!

love ya'll
Amy
