'ramblings To a Friend'

I wanted to hug you tonight
even though it would not ease your pain
I wanted to say it would be okay 
even though your eyes had lost their shine 

I wanted to be the ear that you needed 
when your hurt and pain flowed from your lips 
I wanted to be all that and more 
so much more 

I wanted to say that I love you today 
even more than I did yesterday 
just to say that it felt good 
that you trust me enough to share it all

even though 
you felt the need
to say sorry 
for being sad,
sorry for 
sharing your pain,
I want you to know 
that sorry has no 
place in this space

Carolyn Devonshire Date: 7/31/2011 4:53:00 PM Words from a true friend, Wilma. You are a good listener and always offer comfort to others. I often find myself apologizing for "unloading" on friends, but that's not what they want to hear. Excellent poem! Love, Carolyn Login to Reply
