Sometimes, a friend can make me quite irritated, they seem to say things without thinking; trying to explain the why makes me so frustrated, the whole thing leaves my spirit sinking ! We part ways with loud and angry words said, I recall each one while lying in my bed; it hurts to lose a friend that I truly, truly loved, someone dear now has become unloved ! The dance of anger is such a difficult tangled thing, as the days pass offended feelings fade; to good memories of us I recall and cling, I just want my friend though I feel betrayed ! When my friend calls to talk I am thrilled, it seems this has not a friendship killed; so, in the end I swallow my anger for love, for time is short before we will all be above !

I really like this and how you turned it all around, Constance. I had a friend like this once. But she is unreachable to me forevermore

We are human and they say those we love have the power to hurt us even more than the stranger, thank God for the power of Love, I say. Your words are felt and appreciated dear Constance, always thinking of you with love in my heart, :)
