FRIEND AND NOTHING MORE

.
.
FRIEND AND NOTHING MORE

Let it happen once before,
It will not happen any more:
Did you really think that I was such a bore?
My heart wasn’t yours to take,
You see, it's really for my sake
That I must not let it happen any more-
Was it so hard to understand?
All I asked for was a friend
And nothing more…

Writin’ letters, makin’ plans,
Was I boy, or was I man?
Now I wish the sea would roll onto the sand…
For, if a lesson's to be learnt,
This boy just got his fingers burnt-
But he'll forget you if he must, and if he can-
For he'd rather be alone,
Than risk you spit upon
His outstretched hand… .
.

Do you ever write anything that sucks? LOL! I can really relate to this song, as it has happened to me several times. Now I'm afraid to put myself out there. I really liked the last section:

Writin’ letters, makin’ plans,
Was I boy, or was I man?
Now I wish the sea would roll onto the sand…
For, if a lesson's to be learnt,
This boy just got his fingers burnt-
But he'll forget you if he must, and if he can-
For he'd rather be alone,
Than risk you spit upon
His outstretched hand… .

I have no suggestions, only appreciation for the work.

always, Cat

I've written my share of things that sucked.
LOL.

Glad you liked this one and felt you could relate. It's part of the human condition, I guess....

Still we keep putting ourselves in positions of implicit faith and trust in people we feel a strong connection to with our hearts, even if our brains tell us to act differently...

P.S. I may be a tad inactive on this board for the next 3-4 weeks, as I will be travelling and am not sure how much connectivity I will have....
