Friendship isn't always easily described. The Eskimos, they say, have a hundred different words for snow. Unfortunately,
the English language isn't quite as innovative, though it has vast opportunities to differentiate meaning. Certainly, Love
is one of those opportunities. And so, too, is Friendship.
Instead of different words, however, we're stuck with simple adjectives. Close friend. Best friend. Childhood friend. Intimate
friend. Trusted friend. Beloved friend. But whether you use adjectives or different words, few could deny the nearly infinite
meaning in such a simple word.
Friends are special people. We can't pick our family, and we're sorely limited in the number of them at any rate. Society
and mores (and often our own conscience) dictate we select a single mate. But our friends can be as diverse and infinite as
the adjectives we choose. Our friends, in a very real sense, reflect the choices we make in life.
On this home page, I'll introduce myself and talk about my reasons for wanting a web site. I might put a picture of myself
on this page...or just a picture that I especially like.

Poem
The Mistake You Cannot Forget |
| by Ashlie |
You say you cannot forget
And you aren't ready to forgive
But I need your friendship
More than
you'll even know
I need you there to live
Without you by my side today
Life's been going, oh so slow
I miss
your calls
Our endless talks
The places we would go
You can't even bear to look at me,
And I know my mistake
For
because of one night,
And a few thoughtless actions,
When you saw me you ran and hid
I know we cannot take it
back
As much as we would like to
But we could forget
And start all over
Just friends, that's me and you
If
time is what you need,
Then I guess that's what you'll get
But I need you there for me soon,
My friend,
I hope
you will forget. |
