I suppose I should have watched the road I was on but I was too caught up in the scenery to notice that you were closing in on my feelings. The past few years of friendship wraught with under the moon confessions making deeper our understanding of life were just enough to keep me close to you as you became a friend I treasured. That non assuming friend I thought never would push the boundaries too hard. Playful flirting unleashed I was accustomed to hearing as I smiled and you knew we would never grow in any other way than the friendship we had. Small innuendos we both laughed at and never took seriously are now magnified in my heart as it hurts because you want to cross boundaries now. I suppose I knew before that you did but I always respected the distance as you did or as you seemed to. I don't think you mean me harm, but if we can't meet solely under friendship's conditions what have I to gain but your body by coming face to face with the friend I thought you were? Are you still my friend? Yes I still accept you and after tonight forgive you. Now This is simply me hurting. Tomorrow there will be questions. Tonight just me crying. Sometimes the heart needs the solace of solitude and silence. |

Don't cry, well, sure you will. I lost a friend a long time ago from this very situation...I'd give anything to go back and be stronger but well, I'm just a woman! I hope the people in this poem find the peace in the keeping of a friendship, cause when one dies, it's a sad thing.... -befriend yourself and you will never be alone- |

Very sad write, Temptress. It's all too often that seemingly 'harmless' actions and words turn into someone pushing for more. In my opinoin it's all too common and that's when feelings get hurt and friendships crumble for they have no true basis. Sorry for the ramble. I guess this one just struck a chord with me. You're written it well. Best of luck to you with the friendship. All writing comes |

Friendship can be mistaken for love, because of the closeness we share. Sometimes the boundaries are cross and we eventually get hurt. Then we lose a friend. Good Luck and hopefully that person will understand is for the best.Too much to risk.Great expression of love. |

when lines are crossed. . . it's nice if both are on the same side of it. . . well done. . . from the heart. . . with depth and feeling. . . ------------------------------------------------------- To the world, you may only be one person. But to one person, you may be the world. |
