Tim Smith Poet Lyric

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

Charmaine Chircop May 26, 2015 at 1:08 AM 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. Tim Smith May 26, 2015 at 5:40 PM Thanks Charmu...everyone does deserve another chance...I hope things work out....big hugs Tim

Jan Allison May 25, 2015 at 3:39 PM 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 Tim Smith May 25, 2015 at 3:55 PM I guess if he apologizes I will forgive him but he will never have my trust again. Jan Allison May 25, 2015 at 3:47 PM It is so tough when that happens Tim - depends what the betrayal is I guess:-( Hugs jan xx Tim Smith May 25, 2015 at 3:43 PM A friend crossed over the line this weekend not sure if I can forgive him or not :(
