Note to a friend

This is something personal and true to my core.

Note to a friend

 

I did not desire you,

Yet, you awakened my desires.

I did not long for your kiss,

Still, your words kissed my soul.

I did not depend on your comfort,

Gently, your words comforted me.

I did not seek a lover,

Your steadfastness showed me love.

I never asked for what I needed,

Somehow, you gave me what I never knew to ask for.

I never expected to find any answers,

You leave me no longer questioning.

I never dreamed a friend could be so far and so near,

Dear, you are forever and always close to my heart.

I do not know what fate holds in store for us,

Yet, I believe we were fated to be friends in this life and beyond.

Author's Note

I feel like the culture in the US, or at least the part I have know, does not leave much room to express a deep abiding love in friendships without suspecting romantic intentions. Personally, I have friends who lift my spirits and support my spirit far more than any romantic relationship I have known... This write is in honor of one such friend and is specific to that relationship, I hope it relates well to others. If you have a friend like this, tell them how much you love them today!

So, of course I love this and your authors note too, so beautifully expressed, and ever so true. When we meet friends who inspire us, who share our passions and push us further in them, how we do fall in love with them... A special kind of platonic love that not everyone seems to understand...

Anyway, the thought, the feeling, the expression, all gorgeous...

You prove to be the most loyal and wonderful friend... like a Tree of Life... your roots give strength in this heart, and nourishes "Hope"...as it grows into unconditional love and friendship...

Thank you for your supportive review Amos. I welcome any critique as well.

[Stella Armour]

love often grows from the most unexpected friendships, and friendship is what is left when the fire burns down to a glow..

[David Scott]

Thank you for reading and leaving me your thoughts.
I respectfully offer you a different paradigm. Friendship can be on fire! It can be amazing and soul changing. It can have passion too. You can willingly give your life fur a friend...
This is not a left over ember, but rather furnace of energy in living and knowing what it means to love another person above your own rewards and far above any sexual moment...
This is the point of my write. ;).
