Timeline

At first I was afraid Afraid
of what might happen Happen
if I get close Close
enough to get hurt
Hurt like all the other times
Times when I was desperate
Desperate for someone to trust.

I am sorry my dear friend
Friend who I have wanted Wanted
to get close Close
enough without being hurt
Hurt is a vital part of friendship
Friendship that is strong
Strong like our friendship is.

Thank you Lord.
