Diminished Desire

I suppose I could be flattered
that you want to be my friend.
After all the time that has passed
perhaps now you can see the value
of a friendship.
Yes, there was a day I definately
desired your friendship
and you held onto it with
a desperately tight grip.
So I connected to you
the only way I knew how
within the limitatations
of a sensual relationship.
In this way I was able
to feel a part of you
if only for those brief moments
when we made love.
Each time our lips parted
the connection was lost as well.
So why come to me now
and offer me the very thing
I wanted all those years ago?
Why offer me something
I no longer value
when you could have
given it to me so easily
back then when I desired
to be your dearest friend.

James, I think the worst thing a woman can say is I just want to be friends, especially when a relationship ends.
Take heart and take care,

James! I keep comming back to this one but all I can say is "I know"! I think you put the feeling across rather well.

Thank you maeve and Eagle one...actually the thing I desired the most was a friendship...an emotional bonding...in absence of that I tried to connect any way I could...funny how she would never offer her friendship while we were together but now she claims she wants to be my friend...she said lets get together and go to a movie...I have no desire to go there...James
