Chose Friendship, No Fight

Come, lets play in the rain, dirty dancing the way you move drives me nuts, Insane! Expensive purse, leather coat soaked in the conditions. I dip you, we hydroplane I feel like I am in heaven, found a purpose. I digress!! Once an obsession, A friendship at a cross road love the complication, Timing was not right. Stars had not aligned, chose friendship, no fight! Years pass, the occasional brunch A matinee, oh and that luncheon at a downtown cafe'. Strolled the streets downtown Salt Lake City, Olympics! Drunk, acting crazy Two arrogant young adults falling in love! Stars had not aligned timing was not right I chose friendship no fight! Years pass and we email talk on the phone. Relationships fail now we are both grown I regress! It feels like a dream, drug induced, on cocaine. I smell through the rain that sweet lavender lotion! I caress, we dance in slow motion. The stars may have aligned timing could be right! Once started out a friendship blossomed into kinship! Now I fight!! Jared Pickett 2/14/2014 Asavvy1

Yes this is a true story. We both lived in SLC at the time of the Olympics, I lived in Taylorsville UT, she lived in Ogden. We have been friends since 2000!! We both partied downtown S.L.C in a mob all night!! I played bodyguard, drunk staggering.. That is my right hand (wo)man..:-)Asavvy1

I saw your blog and came to check out your work. This is fantastic! I tend to slash and chop at my poems, but I love the way you just let your thoughts flow, back up and go forward, and toss things in you almost forgot.."oh and that luncheon". And the little details are perfect.
