Friends

That cursed word when a *romance comes to an end and your pain is worse than the Bends.
You miss them but who wants a relationship with one who thinks of you as a sister or brother, in your despair you reason, maybe I'll find another.
The sands of time sift slowly by and someone new has caught your eye, ah, bliss anew you sigh.
A true love has come your way, the hurt of years gone by has gone away, oh happy day!
There are still those thoughts of the one in the past, like a mist they appear but do not last.
As you stare frozen in a daze, your loved one asks; are you ok dear; you look like you are so far away and not here.
I reply, with a tear in my eye, and say; I was far away but now I'm near again to you my love and I will always stay.

*I remember my romance and it's end, marriage was on my mind but I kept falling over the road blocks until in my frustration I cried out to God, if this relationship is not your Will make it end but send me the woman that will be my wife unto the end of life. My prayer was answered two weeks later, our relationship ended quickly one night. After my wife and I had been married a number of years with two beautiful children, the Lord had me look one day in the Obituary page (Which I never do!) I read the name of my old flame, she died of cancer at age of 47, lost both her breasts but it was too late, she was married but childless, I did shed tears for her and her family and I praised the Lord for sparing me and blessing me. I had a Christian brother who had the gift of wisdom, he would say to me; Kenny, people make their own decisions every day not knowing if they made the right one! He taught me to put everything in God's hands in my life and He will make the best choices for you!
