Dear Friend Dear Friend, How can we, you and me say “I love you” when the words do no more than hurt? How can we, you and me say “I miss you” when the years between will never shorten, nor the distance between never lessen. “Friends,” we say, “Lets be friends.” Yes, true , we are friends, you and me. But try as we may the words, “I love you,” the words, “I miss you,” albeit now unsaid, sit within our hearts and play within our minds and though we struggle not to say: “I love you!” And though we struggle not to say: “I miss you!” The love we feel, the longing we feel surpasses friendship, but true , the words do no more than hurt. So, my dear friend, though better left unsaid, let me say... My friend, I love you!

Some choices are so much harder to live with that others, but we do learn how to move on...still a sad, heartbreaking theme, Mark. Hope things get easier.

got to be a good friend Mark, before I use the love word. Out of all my friends I have very few who I can even say I like, great poem though

Repeat with me the third letter of the alphabet twice, then see that it is only found in your poem as can and distance. Do something about it, because you will find it also in "if only once in a lifetime"
