You could have been my child
but instead you became my lover
you could have been my lover
but instead became my child
There are contrasts
of clouds drifting at midnight
words whispered inside
best left unspoken
feelings, like open wounds
seep reality & hurts
just as much...
you were a star unattainable
but as a dream, more than real
in another life,
you would have been my soulmate
instead, you became my friend
& for this I am grateful...

Thanks, all.  This isn't literal, but rather the mental attitudes of the two involved...

When friends share their innermost thoughts, it does feel as if they are interwoven that way...like the way you describe that aspect!

Tiesdin,  
  
  You have expressed in this, an understanding or at least an awareness of the multiplicities inherent in our relationships. The different roles that we play, sometimes unknowingly, in our efforts to affect a foundation upon which to build.
  
  Or, it could be, you know, a poem or something.

Sometimes there are different roles to play, depending on so many things, yet they are not really roles, for they are real and are born of love, not acting.  I really enjoyed this thoughtful poem!

Tier..

THIS IS PERFECT!  You could not have written
these emotions and feelings any better had
you tried with the help of the rest of us.

Closed out perfectly as well....all of the
could have been becoming the perfect thing.
