Silence!!!

I was cold and hurting
lost out in the night
wandering and searching
for heaven's light

I saw the night sky clearing
when you spread your rainbow wings
But little did I know
what joy you would bring

From that moment on
a friendship did start
you kissed away my tears
and sheltered my heart

I bless the day God
sent him from above
But then I grew fearful
for I had fallen in love

I told you this feeling
and what did you say?
You said you liked our friendship
and that's how it would stay

I cried for a friendship I thought I lost
But then felt your warm, gentle hand
You then whispered in my ear
that by my side you'll forever stand

But when I looked back he was gone, I was left there standing in complete silence. The silence was so deafening, but I am learning to enjoy the silence and it is being to sound peaceful.

You wrote that yourself?! I envy that talent and enjoy reading it. :)

It truly is a fearful time when the lines between friendship and something more become blurred. I have that feeling now for someone totally inappropriate for me. I can't tell him because well...I did say inappropriate right? Anyway, it's so hard to settle for friendship when your heart wants more right? I think I need to become more in tune with the silence.

I'm glad you are finding some peace in the silence. And who couldn't use a friend, new or old? Sometimes in our search for happiness we fail to see that we need not have looked so far afield and maybe it was right there in front of us all along. I sure hope that is how it will be for you Andy.
