What Is Friendship? |

All the love we once shared down deep inside our hearts, has faded into nothingness and torn us both apart. It's left us with only friendship nothing more will ever be, a bleak uncertain future is all I can foresee. How long this friendship shall remain I'm afraid I cannot say, all the magic we once shared has slowly drifted away. You say you still care for me I wonder if you do, it seems you've been avoiding me you say this isn't true. You have so many "other friends" who keep you occupied, this isn't getting easier no matter how I try. I miss the way we used to talk for hours upon end, now at times we seldom speak since we became "just friends." "If you love someone, set them free. If they come back to you, they're yours. If not, they never were to begin with." |

What a lovely, sad, poem you've created. Being "just friends" after being more is a challenge, and cannot often be accomplished. Thank you for sharing this here. ~ Claire Could a greater miracle take place than for us to look through each other's eyes for an instant?......Henry David Thoreau |

Along with what Meadow said, that is one of the most difficult of all to make work. I have experienced that as well, as I am amidst it sort of happening again. It sure is hard... stay strong, touching work. |

Thanks guys. Yes it IS hard, cause the memories and emotions are always there to remind you. When you think what might've been or could've been, it makes you wish for more. Friendship is better than losing someone altogether, but you'll always long for the closeness you once shared. |

Oh How I feel for you. This I have been through and it tears at your heart. Being friends are word easily said, almost expected. The challenge is maintaining it, and that is not so easy. I will agree with you, you don't want to loose them but sometimes not having them completly is just as hard to deal with. You expressed this very well in this poem and I commend you and I hope everything works out for you. Jenn E |

This bought a question to my mind..... can there ever be a good friendship after having been a bad love affair? I've just never seen it work out! Thank you for this beautifully written work....I enjoyed it tremendously.... Today is a gift.... That is why they call it 'the Present'! |
