No Strings Attached

When you and I met, both your life and mine were in turmoil
One in a withering marriage, the other in a marriage already dead
At the start of what we now have I said, “No Strings Attached”
And by those words I stand
We walked into each others life
At the end of what I think
Were the worst years of our lives
One with a heart bruised and broken, unable to feel
The other abandoned and lonely, looking for a friend, willing to let
time heal

In-between then and now, there were some interruptions
Blasts from the past, preventing the bruised and broken to feel
Patiently the lonely abandoned one waits, letting time heal

The time arrives; the bruised and broken begins to feel
One hearts wings are healed, it is ready to fly free
Knowing the feeling are not for it
With “No Strings Attached”
The other delicately holds it in palms
Without Regret
Opens the hand and sets it Free

Opps, I lied Sorry, there is one string attached

We have a Friendship that will last FOREVER
