"Forgive Me Special Friend?"

We often hurt
those closest
to us.
Many times it is only
because we are
angry at ourselves,
and we scream
in furor
at someone
who understands.
I am very sorry.
I did not
mean to hurt you.

   -Poem by Susan Polis Schutz

I'm sorry

To You Just Because....
You're Very Special to Me

There's no
special reason
for sending
this to you,
except that...



I was feeling
a little lonely,
and when I asked myself
what I seemed to be
missing the most,
the answer
turned out to be
...you.

- Collin McCarty




I Really Miss You,
My Friend

I really miss you
I have other friends
whom I talk to
but it's not
the same
You have such
a deep understanding
of who I am
I hardly have to
speak any words
and you know just
what I am saying
I really miss you
and I want to be sure
that you know
that no matter where I go
whom I meet
or what I do
I'll never find
as deep a friendship
with anyone as I
had with you

-Poem by Susan Polis Schutz




With you there
and me here
I have had no one
to discuss little things with
like how the dew feels on the grass
or big things like
what's going on in the world
I have been lonely
talking and thinking to myself
I now realize how essential it is
to have someone
to share oneself with
