Distant Hearts

My best friend hasn't called me all day
I wonder what excuse she's going to say
This has been taking place for a long time
I must complete this paradigm

one day she'll realize the error of her ways
for mine is a friendship that never sways
still I must watch out for myself
this pain will subside if I cease to heartfelt

other than that I've had a blessed day
and hope this doesn't prohibit my sleep I do pray
this doesn't feel as one should on the inside
I wish my feelings I could hide

I'm sure I'm overreacting over this
I tend to do that tis
I wish you all a wonderful Christmas
may those be blessed who celebrate from a distance

Looks like you've seen it coming, Angela! Best friends do not leave you waiting in vain. Probably best not to let this incident effect your mood. Hope you enjoyed Christmas. Wishing you a happy & healthy new year! // paul

If she is a real and true friend, she will make the effort hopefully sooner than later, but I am a little like you, I don't let a problem linger, perhaps you should chat and clear up this unfortunate happening. Hope you had a great Christmas Angela and hope 2021 brings all your dreams to fruition. Hugs and blessings, Jennifer.

Goodness gracious! What are best friends for other than to make us nervous?! She sounds like a candidate for 'family member' -- who never lets you know what's going on, and checks in every week or two, even if he/she doesn't think it's necessary! lol. Happy Holidays, Angela. :) Gershon

Thank you for your blessing. Malta is so far away from USA. In fact I've never been there. But I thank for your friendship. Happy Christmas. ~~
