COMPLICATED FRIENDSHIP

WHAT KIND OF FRIENDSHIP DEVELOPS WITH A COMPLICATED FRIEND?
I’VE OFTEN HAD PEOPLE TO ASK ME THAT QUESTION.
WELL IT COULD BE MANY THINGS.
IT COULD BE A FANTASY YOU PROMISED YOURSELF THAT IF THIS PERSON EVER CROSSED YOUR PATH AGAIN, YOU WOULD MAKE IT HAPPEN.
IT IS A FRIENDSHIP YOU FEEL YOU NEED TO EXPERIENCE.
IT IS A FRIENDSHIP THAT MAKES YOU FEEL GOOD ABOUT YOU.
IT IS A FRIENDSHIP THAT MAKES YOU FEEL SPECIAL.
IT IS A FRIENSHIP WITH LOTS OF COOKING LESSIONS.
IT IS A FRIEND WHOM YOU CAN TALK AND LAUGH WITH IN A DARK ROOM FILLED WITH THE FLAMMING LIGHTS FROM THE SOOTHING SCENT OF VANILLA CANDLES.
IT IS THE TYPE OF FRIEND TO WATCH A MOVIE WITH UNDERNEATH THE TURTLE.
IT IS A FRIEND WHO LOOKS AT YOU, LIKE THAT.
IT IS A FRIEND WHO WILL TASTE YOU ----------- THERE.
IT IS A FRIEND WHO CAN FUSS AT YOU BUT NOT GET MAD AT YOU.
IT IS A FRIEND WHO CAN PROMISE YOU THAT EVERY MORNING CONFERENCE CALL.
YOU SEE, HE HAS TO TAKE CARE OF HIS MORNING OFFICE BUSINESS, AND THEN CALL YOU TO DISCUSS THE BUSINESS OF THE EVENING.
BUT KEEP IN MIND, A COMPLICATED FRIEND IS STILL SEARCHING BASE ON WHAT HIS PAST HAS SHOWN HIM AND WHAT HE WANTS HIS FUTURE TO LOOK LIKE, AND IT’S NOT YOU.
YOU HAVE TO RESPECT THE MAN THAT HE IS, HIS THOUGHTS, AND HIS FEELINGS.
BECAUSE AT THE END OF THE DAY, ALL HE TRULY WANTS IS
A NICE FISHING TRIP,
A GOOD CONVERSATION OVER DINNER, FILLED WITH LAUGHTER AND
MOST OF ALL
U.
