Our Secret Rendevous

May 20th, 2014

Here I am after a long time away.  What can I say?
My only excuse is that  the demands of life simply got in my way.
I must say I feel  guilty for neglecting you - leaving you
waiting, locked away in our secret place.

It seems I  come to you more often when I am  down.
How selfish of me!
Yet! you never complain,  and continue to allow me to dump 
all my troubles and woes on you as I attempt to cleanse my soul, leaving you
to carry all my burdens.  

You -  who  know me better than anyone  -  you who  are always 
there when I need you. 
I come to you today just to tell  you how much you mean to me, my
friend, dear diary.

Elaine, my diary has been my best friend since I was 13. I have 3. At times, I forget to write her, and tell her about my days. She is my dear friend. Listens, and lets me cry, and share all my secrets with her. I named her Jewels, one, two and three... LOL.. A deep write, I am sure your friend understands. awesome write...Linda

Dear Lainie, What a shame you missed the contest. I was captivated and wanted to know whom or what you were writing to. You are so skilled; always amazing. Love, Carolyn
