Pöem: If Happy is Sad

If Happy is Sad

I cried at your wedding.
You thought I was happy for you.

I smiled when you kissed your wife.
I knew what you both were feeling.

I cried when you had your first child.
He looked just like you.

I cried because, as a man, some
things I could never provide you.

I cried, I cried, I cried, not having one
friendship. Your greatest friend

ought to be your lover;
then I am no lover.

If happy is sad, then baby
I’m happy for you.

another poet :slight_smile:

glad to see you franz…

take care man. I feel your pain my friend.

Know there are always more and always better out there. The seemingly infinite see of a collective people. You can’t meet them all. Always another man… man. :slight_smile:

Know that I love you brother.

I might lengthen it, to outline the importance that I can’t hold down a friendship. Social pressures make me cave. I’ve only been in one very short lived relationship, ending because he moved. Can’t help but think I’d get whatever the hell it is I get when I drop friends, with him if he had stayed.

And I’d be glad to start sharing my poetry on here.

That how it goes man… the girl I’m in love with can’t be had… long gone from the get go she always was.

Any case you can’t depend on anyone… learn how to cope with being lonely. The ultimate heartbreak of life, but the most triumphant lesson.

It was the z that taught this to me.
