My friend has had a sad and tragic life, and I do not know exactly why. Well educated was he, handsome as well, but never able to love a woman long enough. He has traveled the world, but beaches and oceans and birds and squirrels and a cat were all his best friends. I just read his book of poems, fraught with unrequited life as well as love. I am sorry and saddened for him.
I may be his only friend.
