HER WORDS...



It was never my wish
to ignite that angry passion
nor my intention
to make you loose those smiles

But i know for sure
it can never be all smiles
friendship has its ups and downs
and ours is not an exception

what was said must be said
it won't do to be left unsaid
those pressing little nothings
that weigh the mind down

I not being expressive
find it hard to be impressive
but i must try anyways
to be more tactful along the way

But my utmost wish is
for us to be nothing more than friends
and nothing to stand on the way
be they foe or friends.
