Is it to much to ask for your support?
A true friend would have my back.
Face to face we laugh and smile,
While I ready myself for the attack.

Jeckle and Hyde come out to play.
I never know who I will get.
I answer your questions honestly,
Which you always make me regret.

Everything is such a competition.
And on the surface, it all looks fine.
But I am so sick of trying to be your friend,
So please stop pretending to be mine

Smile ~ "Hello, 'Dear Precious Erica Gould!'" ~ I read "Your" reflective poe a couple of times & I thought that, well, I believe true friends share a certain amount of common ideals, interest, hopes & dreams etc., perhaps thus possibly, "Your" friend may be but a gift of some sort say, a messenger from above, (Hebrews 12: 5,6) filled with love like, well, just a distant thought I suppose? ~ Smile, good luck in "Your Priceless Souls" relationship my dear, "Love Always," John!:) ~
