a friend forever...

it could have been a lot more
it could have cost a lot more but am glad it hasn't

i found a friend, long after i knew him
am glad he was there and has been
patient, with all the answers,
many unasked questions
and unvoiced opinions
lurking in the shadows
waiting in the wings with an assurance

i didnt know i'd find him
i wasnt looking
it just took some time
a long time
and a few questions
it's never been hard
but also never been done
it just took its time

he heard, he said
he explained and i listened
he had his questions and his concerns
but again...

i just thank u, like always
what is and what could have been is not for us to say
but i know i have in you a friend forever
thanks for being the light behind my shadow

it could have been a lot more but am glad it isn't
it could have cost a lot more

It could've been a lot less, it could've been just an empty space.

uptil now i thought i was a cynic!!
have been trying to understand if you beat me at it..or are u a part of the milling crowd that derives pleasure from what could have been. u are most definitely conflicting in your approach and thats rather baffling!!
but otherwise, interesting observation. thinking over it.

Not at all, I'm one of those that remains glad of what it actually was, that there are memories to hang on to, and replenish with new ones, new people.

I was a cynic, and I managed to get past that most hindering stage. Time for you to catch up :)
