Moving nearly every year of my life until I finished high school set my life on a friendship yearn and burn path. This held a lot of feel that touched all my scars on that path, he holds the feel I've always wish had been sustained by one the friends I had and still love. Wasn't meant to be. I am alliteration-emotional. CayCay

So hard for me to understand this feeling my dear friend, because I didn't move around like you did, with that being said; I'm sending soft hugs your way. Even though it wasn't meant to be, it sounds like you still hold someone special so close to your heart. I didn't mean for these words to make me feel emotional. Sending more hugs. ~ Brandy

To have a sensitive and understanding companion is a blessing. When life becomes dark, a true friend can bring light into it. Lovely thoughts, dear Brandy. Your scribbles are dotted with meaning and depth and the way you align the lines are artistically creative.

Dear Valsa, so kind of you to say my poetry holds depth and meaning, and the lines are placed in a creative fashion. :) When moments of darkness surround us, we need a true light to guide our path. I appreciate you and your friendship. Thank you for your lovely comment. Many wonderful blessings to you, my sweet friend. :) Hugs, Brandy

In a real friendship distance is not an obstacle/drawback, but a confirmation of what makes that friendship strong, despite any challenges that might occur. A secret in any relationship is being able to replace moments of doubt or sadness with smiles. Your choice of words projects all this and more, Brandy. Warm regards & Hugs // paul

Paul, you're exactly right. Distance or different obstacles will never break a friendship, or a relationship that's strong. One that's connected with truth and respect. I appreciate you saying this, because I find it holds so much truth. A positive outlook along with a soft smile is very uplifting, especially when moments hold doubt and a touch of sadness. Your thoughts touch my heart. Many wonderful blessings to you, my sweet friend. Hugs, Brandy

Thank you, Silent One. At first I was a little shy about sharing my voice here with everyone. You all know my heart is in every word, so I thought you could hear me reading them and embrace that moment. Yes, being there for each other is a wonderful feeling, especially when ' honest and helpful. ' I appreciate the compliment, my dear friend. I'm enjoying this journey with alliterations. Your kindness doesn't go unnoticed. My best to you. :) Hugs, Brandy
