About the Poem

I once had a friend, that no matter how hard we tried we always ended up in disagreements. This poem was written to let him know that no matter our arguments, our friendship would always be there.

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
