Have I told you lately

a love needs friendship to last,

 

Your friendship
Is what I truly treasure lately
You are more to me than just
Part of my life, a teacher, a lover
Most of all

You are my friend

 

The person with whom
I dare to be myself
I need not wear a face
To be what you are

For my soul is naked

In front of yours

 

For better or worse
I am not a prisoner
In your world
I need no guard
I think what I say

 I say what I want

 

You understand my contradictions
Where other misjudge my intentions
Your loyalty sparks my resources
There is no abuse, neglect, or putting up with
I can, keep silent to myself
And fear not, my stillness

 

For you have lit the torch
At the entrance of my hidden grotto
That my friend only a few have done
You are so special to me
You have shown me something
Very important

 

You have shown me the way
To myself
  That state of mind
More than anything has
For that I thank you my friend
I love you

 

I hope that you know that
Of course you do
because I do
I love you for that reason
and

many more

Love this, especially the line, Mu soul is naked in front of your. wonderful line, wonderful.

[Ama May Cooper]

Flow of such gentle refrain, like a stream.
Wonderfully articulated work. Sensative and soft a very gentle and loving piece.
The compassion is felt throug te work, and seems to be a very strong and tremendous theme.

Beautiful, gentle, feeling how you feel and why .. and one person, one very special person makes you feel this way. How wonderful to find another human being who highlights everything that's you, that changes you from bud to full flower encapsulated in just being. This is truly lovely, such a tribute .. and there are some memorably fine phrases,

'You understand my contradictions ~ Where other misjudge my intentions ~ Your loyalty sparks my resources ~ There is no abuse, neglect, or putting up with ~ I can, keep silent to myself ~ And fear not, my stillness'
