Seven months of fighting the good fight
Waiting to hear two magic words.
That isn't until Friday.
Side effects are still there, and fatigue still hangs around.
We want to get back to what was and put what is behind us.
Before the echoes start, we know there are follow-ups and check-ups
in the future
Until Friday, think of our once-a-day gratitude that we will get the news we have waited for.

They are playing games.
They are friends and foes.
Worth the time and effort.
Sometimes lead us to places we have never been before.
Shine the light on the darkest days when sunshine surrounds others.
They play and dance in my head until they are ready to become a poem.
They have awakened me at hours meant for sleep and other activities.
They are a joy and great company especially when you would rather not speak.
Yet, you will be heard.
Words.

Wish it was possible to gift wrap the person you seek.
The only thing to be sure of is that you know the person.
You need to stop looking and then you will find each other.
Saddens me to know that your puzzle is incomplete.
You should not define yourself in that way.
Your friends know you better and too well.
Your only is there.
Just search your heart and follow your path to glorious journeys.
You are that special.

I put the pen down.
I stay away from the computer keyboard.
I listen very carefully and observe the world around me and at large.
You take a breath and sip a beverage.
You remember people and places.
Maybe a word or phrase to revisit
Cherish these moments as they are far and few between.

Why should a friendship end because of personal choices?
Straight people can have Gay friends.
There are all kinds of friends.
As there are colors, shapes, sizes, and vistas.
They are friends and not defined.
I lost you because you can only walk and live in the category you placed yourself in
Seems a waste and useless.
Yesterday has come and gone as you say in your email.
It's funny as you didn't have the guts to tell me about your life choice in person but called on the telephone.
Hope you are happy and not alone.
You left.

This is not a sermon.
Don't take it that way.
It isn't a lecture or a lesson.
Enjoy your life and don't look back which is easier said than done.
Hoping regret doesn't befriend me as it has for many.
If for some reason that makes no sense to you, others don't what to participate.
Let them live theirs as best they can.
It is your life

Writing is like breathing
It is easier to write than say what you feel
The effort is way different
You befriend the paper and ideas flow
Sometimes they get stuck because of circumstances beyond one's control
It defines us
It is that Simple
