Mystery

you walked away in anger
though there were blessings
upon your lips.
she took the blessings 
and thanked you, 
for they were well thought out 
too sting and lash
a stranger but instead she 
found you out and even 
though you would hate it,
if you only knew, she still reads 
words that make her wonder
who the heck are you?

Still a mystery to me as well friendship. Oh well in the end I guess it is how good a friend or love was I that will have to be answered for at the final accounting. Thank you Ralph.
