Goodbye Love Hello My Friend
Come my friend and walk with me,
Please come dance, but not too close.
You are all I need you to be,
Can we stay friends, do you suppose.
Today you ask to hold my hand,
I never really let it go.
Still trying hard to understand,
How to help our friendship grow.
Though hearts are full of so much more,
It must forever stay inside.
We dare not open like before,
dreams and reality collide.
My tears will dry, our hearts will mend,
Best friends, that is good enough for me.
From now on I shall just pretend,
Loving you is a memory.
We were blessed once , now twice,
This time we will make no mistakes.
Sometimes hearts have to sacrifice,
We shall do whatever it takes.
Lives point in the right direction,
Together, but now far apart.
Friends feeling love and affection.
We let go so our friendship can start.
I shall be your forever friend,
Sad ending, love tucked away.
My faith in you shall never end
Our new beginning, starts today.
Author notes
Thank you for the prayer my dear friend.
Enjoy this day, as a gift from God.
"Let tomorrow take care of itself"
Hello my dear friend, I hope today is a new beginning. I will always hold your hand in friendship and treasure what we can share. Sunshine
So don't worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will bring its own worries, Todays trouble is enough for today. Matthew 6:34

I think this is beautiful just the way it is. A beautiful picture and background, indeed! In my eyes this reminds me of something which happend to me, a relationship spoiled, and it was hard to just remain friends. Pretending to be okay is definetely not easy. Infact it's very painful. Because you just want to hold them, and feel them in a way they will never want for you. It's very confusing, isn't it? If I have the wrong idea please forgive me, but this does send out plenty of images and memories to my head. Moving on is tough, but possible. Someday you will mend, and heal, and be able to confide in love again. If this is all you'll ever have with the person, cherish it anyway. You never know how much time is left, and you'd regret it horribly if you ever lost even the friendship. Sorry for my incoherent rambling, but this poem has brought a lot to my mind. I am glad I was able to read it, and I thank you muchly for sharing it. It's taking forever for me to comment because I keep reading it again, and thinking of more things to say. Despite what anyone says, I believe the poem is perfect the way it is. It isn't choppy or constrained or anything of that sort. Mainly because it was how you were feeling at the time. A bit confused. So even if it gets a reader confused every now and then, isn't a big deal. I think this is one of the most touching poems I've ever read, which is why i'm STILL writing LOL. Even if you may not know me, please know you'll always have me to talk to. Let me know if I can help in any way. You've painted a deep picture and brought back a lot of memories that will help me write even more, and even better. It moved me in a way I couldn't ever explain. Thank you once again, and good luck to you in your recovery. ~ Kerri

VERY BEAUTIFUL COMMENT !!!!!
Thank you for the lovely comment. I do appreciate it. It was not meant to be a perfect poem. It is very persoal and written with tears today. Thank you for reading. Take care, Sandy -
Fair
It seems to me that this a sweet poem is constrained, a bit, by rhyme although I agree with Frost that a writing a poem without rhyme is like playing tennis without a net. For example the line "Our emotions must be denied." has, I think, the wrong beat. But again, it seems to me, that unless the poem has a great swing in itself, it needs images rather than abstarctions to make it live.
