Poetry On Odyssey: I Love Her, Not Just Me & Her

I was getting ready to lose her…not just in a romantic sense, but as the friend I needed.

You ever just grow an intense bond with someone that you wouldn't trade for the world, but just because you two couldn't "be together", everyone expects you to be hostile? It's okay if things don't work out, it comes with moving on. But the thing is, no one is entitled to fall for and be with you. This is a small poem I wrote about that.



You ever think maybe I'm not just in it for love?

Yes I love her,

Not just the thought of her with me,

the way she fills my mind with childlike wonder

How she's dances through my life years blessing it.

And to think…

I was getting ready to lose her…

Not just in a romantic sense

But as the friend I needed

I couldn't do it

Yes she hurt me…

… un… unintentionally

But I'd rather lose her to someone else's love

… or tender care

Than be left without her entirely

Because forgive her I couldn't dare

When we're all mistake making hunks of junk probably going nowhere!

Maybe I'm not supposed to find my love with her

Maybe I'm not supposed to find love at all

But I'd rather find even just a glimmer of happiness in her smile…

If it be with someone else…

Than waste life hating her,

Because I wasn't her beck and call

I don't just love the thought of us you see,

I kinda just love her for her to where…

I just want her to be happy

Friendship. It's defined as the state of being attached to another person by feelings of affection or personal regard, but what really is friendship? Is it that occasional hallway talk with that one person who always manages to cheer you up? Is it that relationship you have with someone where they can be gone for a long period of time, but when they come back, it's like they never left? Is it spending every waking hour with someone, and knowing every detail about their life? Is it the relationship that's filled with fighting, but filled with even more resolution? I've learned that it's all of these things, and every friendship is different. It's a beautifully dysfunctional mess that should always be cherished and never be taken for granted.
