Love the Hard Way

Friendship's about giving no need for reciprocation total support not caring who's at fault Nothing up my sleeve or so it may seem lost all my hope, gonna hang on to your dream Maybe I'm just blind left it all behind I'll just push you aside gonna enjoy your ride Friendship's about caring putting one another first respect, honor, dignity loving unconditionally Nothing up my sleeve or so it may seem lost all my hope, gonna hang on to your dream Maybe I'm just blind left it all behind I'll just push you aside what was yours is now mine Maybe I'm just blind but what was yours is now mine

At first I thought Jan got to you with that title! LOL However you have expressed the very essence of love and forgiveness here! Great poem!

Ouch ,I can feel pain in this poem. Pain from strangers hurt ,but pain caused from those We cherish most kills.Trust takes years to be built in friendships,and only one second to vanish.Tim ,I do believe everyone deserves another chance,if they will to respect your idea and what did hurt..I feeel this.

Think we can all relate to this one Tim - its a shame when friendships/relationships end - sometimes we never know the real reason why:-( Hugs jan xx I can relate to the first 3 lines very strongly! Hugs jan xx 7 xx

I guess if he apologizes I will forgive him but he will never have my trust again.
