It Happens
In student life a loner
I wandered in an encasing,
Every time I encountered her
My heart would start racing…
We didn’t share a relationship;
But we were classmates,
Each one trying to initiate
the unlocking of closed gates.
I invited her to be my friend
Unsure what her answer would be;
Then gradually we blossomed
In each other’s company.
My love for her kept growing
Now each day was just grand…
My friend to me was special,
I watched my heart expand.
In my “make-belief” world
I trusted every word she had spoken,
But it wasn’t very long before
I was left heart-broken.
We had many misunderstandings;
I whined and just held on,
Unwilling to let her go;
But shortly she was gone.
She seemed to be the example
Of a person “using people” and “loving things”,
Through her I grew and experienced
The joys and pain every relationship brings.
Friends must be held with affection,
Not too loosely and not too tightly;
Everyone has a special need,
to be loved and yet to be free.
In life whatever happens
Happens for a reason…
Not everyone stays with you for a lifetime,
Some come only for a season…
