It continually saddens me how far away people are. Now that was a vague statement!! Let me explain.

So many times people that I love and care deeply about go through things that I don't find out about until later...until it's a bit late to do anything. I don't know why. Perhaps it's because I'm too self-absorbed, because people don't want to confide in me, because they don't think I care....I don't know. But it makes me sad- because what are friends for if not to support you through crap? To identify with you and show you that you're not alone in the world? Once a friend I was talking to had been talking about stuff going on in his life and he said "Thanks for listening"....and I was thinking "What are friends for if they don't listen to you??"

These are not the most literate of words, but I put them here anyway in hopes that you will understand how I feel...

"If you only knew how much I love you
If you only knew how much I care
Then maybe I could carry
Some of the burden that you bear.

But here I am in the distance
Standing just to far away,
Wishing I could offer more
Than just what I have said.

But if you one day need a shoulder
If you one day need a friend
Remember that this offer still stands..."
