loved and lost

By a restless wanderer

Through all my moving around, I have left friends and loved ones scattered all about the country and a few beyond. The most painful part is when someone calls up in troubled times and I can't be there for them. And there are some that would look at my life as freedom.

She loves me
because I care,
but she loves him
because he's there.

With all my heart
for years on end.
But for the miles,
I can't contend.

For her peace,
my pains I hide.
I couldn't be
there by her side.

    I like this a lot! I know how this goes because my friend moved a year ago and we are not nearly as close as we were and it would be nice for her to be here and I know she would like me to be there for her too...:(
