Funny how.....
Funny how you perceive a complete stranger
....to be a friend.
- Simply, on the strength of a few lines of prose
- Simply, because of an element of warmth in those words…
- Simply, because of a touch of understanding in the message and a trace of humanity in the tone.
And funny how, over time, you come to rely
On that presence…to be there.
A sort of subliminal assurance that you are
In the proximity of something of value.
And it’s not funny at all
That when this is abruptly withdrawn….
There is a tangible sense of loss, of betrayal.
Funny, really, how vulnerability manifests itself.
