If I turn away please turn me back around... if I tell you to get lost please tell me you'll be easy to find... and if I get scared and start to run please chase after me take me by my hand make me understand... was this really all part of Gods' great plan?? the cross I bear so heavy a past filled with memories now lost and I had to move on no matter the cost and I don't want you to bring me flowers I don't want you to call me every hour 'cause no I am not ready for none of that yet... can you be my friend? while this life of mine I try to mend... 'cause I can't pretend to be something I'm not... so if I turn and start to walk away please ask me to stay 'cause sometimes it's not easy I get nervous new at all of this... and sometimes I get confused and I wish I could have watched that sunrise with you... Julie :) |

This heart sends it's plea Hurting in life's little game Only wanting for you to see Things just are not the same Open up and call out my name Don't push me through absent's door Reach out your heart with friendly aim Give me time in you in which to explore Great read |

Aw, Julie, this is so sincere....and so true. They say a friend is someone who will love you in spite of yourself.....those are friends we all need at one time or another. |

I am thinking of another 'take' on what balladeer said: "A friend is one who sees right through you - and still enjoys the view." Right now reading this - I feel I see right through to the real Julie - and I really enjoy the view - I'm sure you've more friends here than you realize and let's hope the one it was written to - reads it clearly |

Julie, You have came to a great conclusion here. Friendship should always come before anything else. I hope that he hears your plea and heeds the wisdom of your words. Best of luck to you.  Wonderful writing. LW Poetry should surprise by fine excess...it should strike the reader as a wording of his own highest thoughts and appear almost a remembrance. -J.Keats |

Julie... There you are, inside of my head again!! This is such a touching poem to me right now, and it means more than you know. Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |
