Close Friends

They met, and soon became close friends! They were only six years old! They were so compatable, it was something, to behold! They stayed close friends, throughout the years, with mutual admiration. At times, they were inseparable, until, High School, graduation. Although their love, was not romantic, they did, love one another! Their unique relationship, was more like sister/brother. She went on to college, and said she'd keep in touch. He started working, for his father, but didn't hear from her, that much. Eventually, she married, and moved back into town. Turns out the guy she married, was inclined to knock her 'round! Her friend got word, about her plight! He went to set her husband straight! The husband didn't have a clue, about his, forthcoming fate! So they met, face to face! He said "friend", you're gonna see, there's a person, you don't want to meet, in your case pal, it"s Me! What happened next, is history! The husband left, for parts unknown! He promised that he would not, come back, and would leave his ex alone! The friends renewed their closeness, but, the feelings weren't the same! The love was much, much deeper, and their hearts, were all aflame! So, they decided to get married, and have a child or two. They'd spend their lives togeather, which, they were always meant to do!

this is really cool and it makes me wonder if the friend did more than just make the guy go away!! Congrats on your win. I really enjoyed reading this one.

Great write that pours forth romantic love..That is what love is all about action expressed love..Man is suppose to provide, protect, and support his love..Some men today don't have a clue..I appreciate your kind comments and the fact that you will remember us in your prayers...Our son is growing stronger ..Nine days now until they let him come home..Sara

Ralph, I had a friend like this who would have gone to bat for me -- and did when needed. Like the relationship you describe at first, it was sister/brother, but we could not have loved each other any more. I do believe we would be together today if he had survived cancer in 2005. I'm glad to hear these things work out sometimes. Love, Carolyn
