Thank You

Thank you

Just so you know you weren’t a big mistake

But you weren’t like other friends

The chemicals of brain and heart

Flooded out

And steered me wrong

Well if not exactly wrong, then in a way that was imprecise

Causing confusion

And yes, you were clear when you spoke

Your actions less so, as I think you know

And I apologised for being triggered

Like a petulant child

And carrying on in an entitled way

I’m sorry ok?

Surely you know I would never have done

What you accused me of

And thanks for your input, but I was clear about my priorities

They did include treating friends in a way that was kind

And I’d hope for the same

But although I didn’t meet my own standards

You had better know I tried

It was a friendship that might have lasted

If it had time to morph and grow

But the way it began for me left it with nowhere useful to go

“Rope” ....you know was never needed.

You as a person.... I needed to know

(And that’s NOT a Euphemism)

Anyway, I took the churned emotions, the energy the flow

And redirected it to where I knew it had to go

I didn’t need you telling me where that was

I always knew

So thank you though for setting off a chain reaction

Which has changed life for me and mine.... for the good.
