I was told that a friend cherished, talked about me,
said- I was not hearing her when she spoke;
I was so angry,
for I am a listener !
A true friend to those who I let enter my world,
for this journey has made me very careful;
I did not say anything to her but distanced myself,
then, weeks, weeks later I realize I was hurt, not angry.
(and I missed her and our conversations on every subject)
Does this mistake have to end friends ?
Perhaps, I can ask why over coffee?
"To err is human; to forgive divine . . . . "(Alexander Pope)
