to the friend you could have been bright flowers bloomed on the day we met hope filled the air with light leavening was not needed for the bread to rise excitement exploded on the day we touched love filled our eyes with tears promises were not needed for the trust to grow amazement begot confusion on the day we loved desire was torn between poles understanding was losing to the questions not asked and the answers ignored want in, want out want more, want less too much you not enough me and in the end we lost a friend the intention was to share truth we fell in love the intention was to share trust we did not (we took for granted) the intention was not to harm we harmed anyway the intention was to stay close we fell apart (fell unenchanted) from me to you from you to me for the moment for eternity to the friend you could have been that love divided that trust repelled that truth insulted that lust felled I hope you are happy now To The Friend That Could Have Been Ric Candor ©2000 EMAIL
