Quiet Emotions
by Judy Burnette
I always wanted more from you
than you were willing to give;
So now we've gone our separate ways
each with different lives to live.

The bond will always be there
the friendship always intact;
But the time for us has come and gone
and the pages of time, you can't turn back.

I will always be a friend to you
and wonder how you are;
The smiles and laughter I will remember
and our fights have become painless scars.

Sometimes on those busy days
when you've a thousand things to do;
Please let me glide slowly through your mind
and spend some time with you.

In that quiet moment
when you're surprised to find me there;
Just remember even with the distance between us
I am still someone who cares.

Hi Judy, Your poem is really touched me and matched with my situation. I tried to find a poem that about my feeling . coz me and a friend got ruin up our friendship for unreasoning explaination. THere is so much things that we can't get a chance to explain. We both don't mean to be friend I guess. but I wish to let her know how much her friendship mean to me. And She is totally all WRONG about me. but I won't claim or hate her. Coz a friend need to learn how to forgive. Frienship is hard to find and hard to keep. so I guess I just "Thank" for your words putting all my feeling into pieces. a wonderful poem. Thx for the hard work. your words mean to me, so others?? Thx Dr. Ann
