We have been friends For such a long time I missed you when you were gone And am glad you came back Soon you will leave again And I have something I want to say Come closer so I can whisper I haven’t forgotten a time When we were together The sports bar, watching the game Harmonious Monks, and your friend, Starbucks, and the place by the river I haven’t forgotten the talks we had From marriage, love, and kids to football, Movies and music I remember it all I know we are supposed to be friends first I know I wasn’t supposed to feel what I did When you kissed me You know how we want so much from love? Someone that will love us regardless of how we look What we say Or how stupid we can be? Someone that will be there when we need them And step aside when we don’t Someone that will fight a war in the others honor And hold us when despair comes knocking My dearest friend My beautiful lover I love you like that And this time when you go away My heart will break |

I felt very emotional and teary-eyed as I was reading your poem, but after reading in one of your replies how this writing came about, my stomach began to hurt!--Did I ever tell you that I'm an empath! Actually, I believe the majority of poets are! Linda |

To have known a true partner is a thing of joy. Yes, to lose that is terrible, but imagine if you lived this life with only the speculation that this type of bond might be possible; wondered, but never knew. This is a beautiful statement of human need and human loss. That the loss is painful does not detract from the beauty of knowing. Thank you for sharing what is really a statement of hope. I wish you well. |

I believe friends forever, until the romance ends, then friends no more. One always has an agenda. Letting go can hurt so much. Nice write. Peace, Joe seeking the serendipitous magical mysteries of life's ubiquitous twisteries |
