I just told a good friend that I could not be there for her as often when she was in a relationship 2 years ago because....

I was a little in love with her. And, seeing her happy with someone else back then makes me a bit hurt. So I quietly walked away to eat my heart out for awhile. But I did keep in touch with her throughout those years, just not as frequent as before. Now that she's single, she asked why I did that. I cut to the chase and told her the truth. She's so cross at me now. I really don't know what to do. I might have to give up on this friendship.

Should make no difference to a true friend

@Disguised You mean, she and I should remain friends, right? That's what I thought too. But I'm giving her all the time and space to think about it. I hope she and I can still be friends.

Rejected

For all of those who've been rejected.
Please remember you were first selected.
Then as they got to really know.
How you think and thoughts just flow.
When they got to know you well.
To freely speak and to tell.
Its then you learn they aren't for you.
They listened on but weren't so true.
You'd stand and cry, pour your heart.
But all they done was TV start.
Then it’s your fault because you changed.
Although it’s them who rearranged.
You opened up to a wall.
Which you climbed but from you fall.
Failed to scale the dizzy height.
To meet the level for their delight.
Then they say it’s goodbye for good.
Then you realise you really should.
The faults not yours they were to blame.
Playing stupid mind twisting game.

Small Steps

Take small steps to learn a heart.
We understand so little at start.
As we learn our hearts will grow.
As seed of friendship we will sow.
Nurtured well and kept weed free.
Friends forever we could be
