This isn't a promise
I can force you to keep

This isn't a wish
I can ask you to grant

This isn't a dream
I can ask you to paint

This isn't a hope
I can ask you to long for

This isn't a memory
I can ask you to recall

This isn't a moment
You can photograph

It's a request
Don't you get it
Plain and simple
It's all that I ask
"Will you be my friend?"

But I can tell
It's obvious
That you can't even do that.

Yeah just something I wrote while I lay awake in my bed.

I've been having some complicated thoughts, it inolves a girl of course. The poem is a reflection on a request I made to her a while back, that no matter what would happen she would still be my friend. To this day she never truly kept it. I don't know if I changed too much, or her opinion changed, either way it still erks me inside. Late last night she said things that were never intended for my ears, yet I heard them anyway. The pain kept me awake until late in the night and I suddenly started writing. This is the result.
<Thank god, for this little notebook. Only cost 50 cents and is very useful for writing ideas on the fly. >

Aye thanks, just carry around a small note book like I do and write down anything that comes into your mind! On the spot writing has a high chance of turning out great if you ask me ^_^

And to be honest....I'm all beter lol. I talked to the girl the other night and we got a whole bunch of things sorted out. In short, things are great again between us! The details of the situation are very complicated and private, however, I'm feeling much better now ^_^
