Over Due Gratitudes

From the quite memories of my mind; through the distance of time;
The past has touched me.
And I marvel at the realities of time and distance;
I was a careless man back then; wouldn’t take the time to notice;
  A devoted friend chose to share life with me.
  And I cringe at this fellow who thought he worked all angles.
  And gazing back in retro-spec I have to feel love;
  Good people are not to be treated so lightly; 
And in the end I wasn’t cool; but much more the fool
God bless my one time friend who;
Probably would have been better off never meeting me.
I thank her for caring; though most of the time I was blinded.
