An Open Letter
I don’t like opening my heart
I don’t like sharing my feelings
I don’t like letting someone in
I don’t like wondering about well being
Yet that happens
I know you are busy
But I miss you
I know you are doing stuff
But I miss you
I know you have lots happening
But I miss you
I know you have others to think of
But I miss you
That is why
I don’t like feeling the emotions
I don’t like waiting for you
I don’t like giving you space
I don’t like pinging you again
Then friendship happens
I know you have people to meet
But I miss you
I know you have others to speak to
But I miss you
I know you have lots on your plate
But I miss you
I know you have pages to write
But I still miss you…
—these words are dedicated to James J Cudney the fourth, my first friend on WordPress
