Array ( [sid] => 40293 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => Lifetime Friends [time] => 2004-03-25 21:44:19 [hometext] => Love in its proper place should never know regret... [bodytext] => Lifetime Friends

Do you understand what I have done?
Do you see the reasons why?
It’s all because of guilt
When you looked him in the eye

I’m the reason you know it
The reason you feel so bad
And that’s not what love should be
It should be joyous and not sad

You said to me twice
A good person you want to be
And so I thought it right to go
And allow your guilt to flee

Yes I know you love me
Of that I‘m satisfied
And you know I love you too
For many times I’ve testified

And by this you know I love you
For I placed your heart above my own
And return to the life
I have always known

But it pleases me greatly
To know I’ve sacrificed for you
And someday you will see
Indeed my love is true

Now go look into his eyes
Not with guilt but loving invitation
Rekindle the love once you shared
With longing and adoration

My love will always be yours
On that you can depend
But in its proper place
The place of a friend

Russ

Lifetime Friends

Do you understand what I have done?

And that’s not what love should be
It should be joyous and not sad

You said to me twice
A good person you want to be
And so I thought it right to go

And you know I love you too
For many times I’ve testified

And by this you know I love you
For I placed your heart above my own

To know I’ve sacrificed for you
And someday you will see
Indeed my love is true

Now go look into his eyes
Not with guilt but loving invitation
Rekindle the love once you shared
With longing and adoration

My love will always be yours
On that you can depend
But in its proper place

An extremely magnanimous gesture on your part. Not sure I could be that unselfish. You are a good soul.

Excellent piece. The humility, so often ignored these days, is refreshing. And I love the author's notes. Profound concept.
