Why is it that my blindness
Is so clearly seen when looking back?
Why is it that my kindness
Only leaves me open to attack?
Why is it that my heart
Just ends up getting in the way?
Why is it that we part
In silence with so much to say?
Why is it that we hold
Onto our pride with all our might?
Why do our lives unfold
As we miss chances to make right?
Why did we meet at this young age
Instead of when were older?
Why do I cry upon this page
Instead of on your shoulder?
Why do you hold my everything,
The life that I now lack?
Why wont you take this love I bring?
Why wont you take me back?

WOW - awesome!!! I hope she does take you back. Your words are some that I seek. Does one have to swallow pride, to make the other speak.  There's a oldier but goodie movie called "The Women" the b&w version. The cast is entirely women, where she realizes she can't have pride, for what's at stake in the name of love. I wish you luck my friend.  I too am in your shoes, except that I'm a female. But if your friend is seeking solitude in your special place, guide her where to look. LP

I know this is a hard place to be...
sometimes its not over...
they want to watch us...
stay strong and hope for
the best...perhaps the
best for you is someone else..
time will tell the story...James
