No reason given, no warning
Just a conclusion communicated over time
in empty conversation
A void where there was energy and life
curiosity and joy
I thought you were delightful
Now, I notice, there is nothing
I step back with my heart, reluctantly
I lower my expectations to very little
I pretend not to notice that I am dismissed
I find a shadowy corner of my mind
where I hurt about being un-chosen
You, being nice or maybe lazy
Accept an ever-more occasional
Knock at your door
And I, offer guarded interaction
hopeful encounters for myself
Just to be sure I wasn’t mistaken
As distance moves gradually into the place
of our friendship

I think we have all been in this position. However, I could not have put it in words. It is my only hope that these words are not directed at our friendship…..I have always hoped that you would know that I am a given in your life! I do know how it feels when a friendship is one-sided…..all I can say is if someone doesn’t have room for you , that they are totally missing out! Their loss!!!!
never you lisa jo. we are the luckiest people in the world in the friendship department.
