a one of multitude friend...
the real world...
... i sat on the edge of my bed after hanging up… no words formed in my mind or on my lips… just tears… came streaming down my cheeks… you don't know me…
the facebook/myspace/cyberspace world...
... all this time... all the little facts, tid bits, stories, bulletins, blogs so you can see beyond the transparent… these are only things that make up part of me… only part of who i am… but still… you don't know me…
... i'm only your myspace friend because of you…
… no, i'm not your girlfriend, wife, lover, playmate, or sister… i am just your myspace friend… but, i do take friendship seriously, i do take friendship to heart…
… and i wear my heart on my sleeve… a place where it is easily bruised and broken… i choose to have it no other way… i'm tenderhearted, unabashedly loving and quite shy at times…
… and still… you don't know me…
Do we ever REALLY know someone... perhaps we know someone based on our limited willingness to see them for what WE want to see... to befriend someone is to love them completely, unconditionally, without reservation and judgment... for it is... "when we judge others... we don't allow ourselves to love them..." ~ mother theresa
... is it possible to love others just as they are... accept them just as they are... unrestrained...
... i drove past the vestige of a funeral yesterday... the grounds caregivers removed the poles and were heading away from the final resting place… the carpeted cover still laid out among flowers… the casket had taken it's place in the earth… no people around… it was blustery chilling cold outside… and I wondered… was the person loved… now all alone… no one around… so cold outside… all who possibly did attend were well dispersed and moving on with their day by now… there remained the lonely opening in the earth… and this wonderful person placed to rest eternally… but all alone in the very end… all alone… no one there to see the entire process through… the dirt, the burial… the finale...
... it made me sad… and a chilling cold creaked into my thoughts… "Godspeed to you," i silently whispered a prayerful plea… "i do hope you were loved…"
... a love unrestrained...
"... they do not love that do not show their love... the course of true love never did run smooth... love is a familiar... love is a devil... there is no evil angel but love..." - w. shakespeare
november rain; guns n' roses
When I look into your eyes
I can see a love restrained
But darlin' when I hold you
Don't you know I feel the same
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
And we both know hearts can change
And it's hard to hold a candle
In the cold November rain
We've been through this such a long long time
Just tryin' to kill the pain
But lovers always come and lovers always go
An no one's really sure who's lettin' go today
Walking away
If we could take the time to lay it on the line
I could rest my head
Just knowin' that you were mine
All mine
So if you want to love me
then darlin' don't refrain
Or I'll just end up walkin'
In the cold November rain
Do you need some time...on your own
Do you need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone
I know it's hard to keep an open heart
When even friends seem out to harm you
But if you could heal a broken heart
Wouldn't time be out to charm you
Sometimes I need some time...on my
own Sometimes I need some time...all alone
Everybody needs some time...on their own
Don't you know you need some time...all alone
And when your fears subside
And shadows still remain, ohhh yeahhh
I know that you can love me
When there's no one left to blame
So never mind the darkness
We still can find a way
'Cause nothin' lasts forever
Even cold November rain
Don't ya think that you need somebody
Don't ya think that you need someone
Everybody needs somebody
You're not the only one
You're not the only one
