One Friend....



I always thought you were the best
I guess I always will.
I always felt that we were blessed,
And I feel that way, still.

Sometimes we took the hard road,
But we always saw it through.
If I had only one friend left,
I'd want it to be you.

Sometimes the world was on our side;
Sometimes it wasn't fair.
Sometimes it gave a helping hand;
Sometimes we didn't care.

'Cause when we were together,
It made the dream come true.
If I had only one friend left,
I'd want it to be you.

Someone who understands me,
And knows me inside out.
And helps keep me together,
And believes without a doubt,

That I could move a mountain:
Someone to tell it to.
If I had only one friend left,
I'd want it to be you.

Grace,

Yup, we are truly blessed for having that special bond w/ our family and friends. But, love of your life bond only for the lucky ones.

Greatest feelings in the world when two souls profess a love for each other...

Gracey,

I had a best friend and a lover rolled into one man - my xhub. When I lost the relationship more than 2yrs ago, I let go of the love but I still miss the friend in him. For 2decades I'll have a tough time finding a replacement for I can have as many good and true friends as I want but that BFF thing, recherche.

Elz, I love this relax pace where you can express how much you care for the person, have fun with each other and yet on top of that, you wish nothing but best for both...unselfish love I would say.

I remember with my ex. bf I had difficulty bringing him to deep talks. He often tells me "but I am your boyfriend not your friend" that time, I could not understand why the combination is not possible as I´m a very open person, I speak my mind and I talk straight from the heart....and that`s why I´m not willing to trade in this friendship, not a good gambler here.

sis. Tess, I agree with you, indeed a great blessing sorrounded by lovable people and I try to reciprocate that love.

As for the love of my life bond, I`m not sure if already came to me,..or passed by,.. as for me love is always a two way straight.

Though experience made me cold for awhile surely I`m getting back to my old sweet sanity ( )
Oh well, who amongst us can tell that we only love one person once in our lifetime???

But I believe in fate and prayer that God will bring us to the right person, time will tell...

Tajane,
sometimes I get this melancholy feeling especially year ends...hard to avoid, so instead of looking at our gray all day sky here in Germany, I`d rather spend time listening to beautiful oldies but goodies music. Not only brings back nice memories of childhood but also improve my mood .

so nice to hear that you`re happy and having that special friend to dedicate the song. Warm hugs, Grace

Great words, you must be real friend, lucky are they

Indeed friends are joy and inspiration, you give support and do everything to please them and if needed you have to fight for your friend too.

Just yesterday, there was this one guy I greeted and try to be nice to him and but he told me "I don`t need any of your wishes, stick to your friend". I was schocked but I kept myself calm ( hey, it´s new year ) but instead I told him, "sorry to hear that but I will not deny that my loyalty is to my friend" and so end of discussion.

Theta,

that is not unusual once a couple separates ...it takes a lot of effort and readiness or openness to rebuild the friendship again unfortunately, also my case.

Mentally I made myself ready to extend my hand to my ex. hubby so he can get out from bitterness , but somehow after 4 years he`s still not that far

let me tell you a bit of my story. My ex. hubby was married to his principles not to me. When he thinks he`s right his right. If I`m wrong for him I am wrong. I can`t get thru, he doesn`t compromise either. At age 13, I was already away from my parent`s custody. I stayed with my siblings but they also gave so much freedom in my life. You can imagine how hard for me to just bow down to what my ex. says if against my belief. To make it short, after 9 years of marriage I left him (principle differences, no 3rd party involved) and I won the court case for our children, until now that fact is so hard for him to accept as he is very intellectual guy. For him I´m just nothing but a woman who came from a third world country, but I never let negativity pull me down, my kids look up to me and we give each other strength..

Yap. Some things are not meant to be. However painful the separation, there's still a part of us hoping that time will erase the bitterness and there will be spaces for forgiveness and acceptance.

Friendship's not too much to ask after years of togetherness, right? Time heals all wounds. For you and I, let's give more time to chance. We're blessed with angels in our life, greatest thing from the union (respectively), and for that, I forgive.

Just keep your door open, along with your heart and mind.
