Morning Light

Image
I wake up to see you standing in the morning light.I reach out to touch you,But all that I get is a memory, and yet, I feel you are near but my vision's not clear. Yet I have your image always in view,I'm forever thinking of you. I feel you watching me quietly in the morning light. I try to find some peace of mind in knowing you're where you don't have a care.I take comfort that you no longer have To keep living in a world full of pain, but I ache to see you again.On rainy days I sit and think of our lost years, the times we spent apart just fill my eyes with tears, but fields of wild flowers and yellow butterflies remind me of you and make me smile. I walk in to your room and stand there in the morning light. I cherish the memories: Your robe on a hook,The pictures you took. I can smell your perfume on the clothes in your room. Everything I see makes your loss hard to bear,I see you everywhere.I live now in a still world listening in the morning light.I strain to hear...

Love or Friendship:

Image
He is my good friend. He is my best confidant. We have known each other more than a decade and have shared meals, movies, hobbies and vacations. We have confided to each other about our latest love interest and turned to one another for support when the relationship(s) failed. I can't imagine my life without my good friend. But for a while... I‘ve felt jealous of his dates. I've been overprotective of him since he has been seeing the jerk. I've been having very strong feelings of attraction and a desire for something more than friendship. Could it be that my feelings for him have grown into something more? If so, our relationship may have developed into a "friend crush". I don't know what to do. I know I want to continue spending time together - more time. But it's getting hard. I fantasize about having more with this person and am beginning to feel like a jealous would-be partner. Do I pretend everything is the same? Do I start distancing myself- hoping m...

Friendship between two:

Can there be anything like friendship between two people of the opposite sex? Many people think that this is impossible but I think that platonic relationship between a man and a woman is very healthy. You must agree with me that this is a new relationship phenomenon featuring in only this generation. The previous generations believed that opposite-sex friendships were potential to many marriages. Family and marriage therapists believe that the easiest opposite-sex friendships to maintain are the friendships which were established long before someone got married. Such relationships are not threatening since you had them before you were married. There is no consensus how to develop friendship. It depends on the circumstances, lifestyle, and the length of the relationship. It is especially challenging in the male-female relations. A rapport between two people is influenced by certain conditions that determine its success or failure. The process is largely based on behaviors, reactions, a...

Silence behind my words.

Image
We chat lightly over at around one in the afternoon, my friend and I. He updates me on common friends. I ask questions and share newsy tidbits. At times, the conversation slips into more serious spheres and I complains the problems that I faces juggling between me and him. My words form pictures in his mind as he listens carefully. Comments and insights bubble up; I hold them back, not sure that they are welcome. He was not always this careful while talking to me. We moaned about arguments we had few days back. Increasingly, He found himself playing safe on anything that could be outside my comfort zone. I am reluctant to share observations on life, opinions, insights, and reasons for lifestyle choices, things that mean much to me, motivate me, and hurt me. Our friendship spans over a decade. Staying in touch degenerated into a 'nice-to-have' at the bottom of our to-do lists for most of us. Last night he woke up at midnight and gave me a call to wish me on my birthday. I apolog...

The Lonely Road

Image
So far, my life has been cruel. It is like a never-ending duel . It filled with nothing but pain and misery, And keeps kicking me down mercilessly. I walk the long dark road, With a heart of painful code. The code which is full of hurt, That makes me feel like dirt. I walk a long winding way No matter how much I pray. This road might never ends, Perhaps I have more twists and bends. I steped into a place, With such an evil face. Full of fear and hate, Like if I have opened hell's gate. But if I am strong enough to fight, I will win the prize and win the light. I will surly find the way, and turn back into the day. I will find a cure to this pain, I will stop this rain. I will end this darkness, And find a cure for my lonliness. That day I will get the prize, I will foget my past and all the lies. I will brake the painfull code, Of the lonely road.
