You Say....
And you say you do not want a thing from me,
you say,
just to be my friend?
You are not here plotting some scheme.
This is for real?
It is not pretend?
And you hope we are friends forever,
you say,
forever and so true?
We will be there for each other,
you say?
We will help each other through?
And you only want the same back,
you say,
friendship true in heart?
For friendship to remain strong,
you say,
we both must do our part?
And there will be times of conflict,
you say,
that is just a part of life?
We will get through these and see more,
you say?
We will conquer any strife?
And this is all you want,
you say?
How does this sound to me?
The first words spoken by you
I felt your warmth and sincerity.

I feel this reflects on real life and all I can say is "Beware". Someone who has to say this sounds like a user reassuring someone. True friendship does not need to have these words spoken.

Friendship is something you don’t have to work hard for. The best ones can last even though you are a long time apart. Life takes us to people and away from people. You know when something is true, it just feels right.

Thank you both. This write is kind of written for me as I have been used so many times in my life so this is in essence me listening to what I am being told by someone with my alarm up with all the trust issues I have developed because of so many occasions where I was played and used. In the end I try to end the poem with a positive because I know there are good people out there too.

Michael, you are wise to recognize these as words which may or may not be sincere. And yes there are honest people out there who will be true friends. I have found them in my travels on this planet.

Thank you John and I agree that there are however I keep a wall up somewhat anymore when it comes to letting people in my circle, they kinda have to earn it with me anymore.
