[hometext] => Friendship takes time.
[bodytext] => Strangers are layered; beneath fancy covers.
The longer we linger, the more we discover.
Friendship is messy; backstage of lifes show.
It tangles and turns the more that we know.
Unlike a book we can’t skip to the ending!
We must love and endure and allow for pretendings.
Revealing ourselves, gently peeling each page.
Showing our hand, taking turns on the stage;
Removing our costumes a piece at a time;
Naked, unraveled, forgiven our crimes.

Friendship does indeed take time and you have to work at it.
I/'/ve always managed to find those friends who don/'/t want to make that investment and get to know the real me. I always value the few that have and that remain with me to this day.
Thoughtful write

so many great little phrases in here! "the longer we linger" - it/'/s nothing fancy but it has such a good ring to it! "it tangles and turns the more that we know" ... "naked, unraveled" so good! |
