Friendships.
Some are for a season. Some are for a lifetime. Some were there. Went away. Then came back again. Some never break. Some get a few wounds but are easily fixable. Others are left wounded for far too long and die before your eyes. Some go through wounds that seem unbearable. Harsh words..and even words unspoken for too long. Some are like a puddle, while others are like the deepest oceans. Some arn't guarded, some are guarded too much. Some have uneasy moments with uneasy laughter. Some don't know where they belong. Some don't know if they're wanted and are left with an insecure face. Some wake up one day and realize that what they are isn't real, and that's gotta change. Some don't realize that in time. Some are life-giving, while some are life-takers.
Hey Friendship, how are you?
I want lots of you, but I want you to be true.
I don't take sides when you're in the picture.
I observe and add my two cents when wanted.
You make me so sad sometimes though.
Because maybe you were never true in the beginning.
Maybe you were broken for so long.
But no one opened up their eyes to see it,
to heal your wound healthily,
so you could be beautiful,
maybe they didn't want to see,
or didn't know how,
until the wound bursted out into the open,
all of a sudden,
and the friendship was left gasping for air,
wondering what went wrong,
and moved to the point of anger as it died it's horrid sad death
leaving it's marks as it went.
I want deep ones of you.
Ones without unspoken feelings.
Ones where I am always at a point where I'm willing
to say it to the face no matter how wounded you get.
I want you to be strong and deep.
Not weak and catty.
I want you to be pure and lasting.
I want you to be fun and joyful.
But at the same time serious and steadfast.
I want to dance with you.
I want to sing with you.
I want to pour words of wisdom on you.
If you're not that way,
show yourself.
I'm not gonna live with you.

you and i - like minded
i get it.
the hard part is
how do we get there?
any of us?
all of us?
hm.
My mom told me about the Oprah thing.
We have that book by Eckhert and I've read some of it.
All Jesus is, is spiritual. We have the Holy Spirit. We are spirits, souls.
And when God says he's jealous, it's because he loves us so much he wants us to himself. He's not jealous of US, not of what we have. He's jealous of who we follow.
The book is so new age, kind of trippy but logical enough to really confuse people. It makes me so mad.
But I do love our friendship, yours and mine :) And I liked the way you wrote this.
i like your words. The you wrote is exactly how things are in friendships. You nailed it.
