Emily Dickinson - My friend must be a Bird

My friend must be a Bird --
Because it flies!
Mortal, my friend must be,
Because it dies!
Barbs has it, like a Bee!
Ah, curious friend!
Thou puzzlest me!

In times of trouble,
In times of need.
If u are feeling sad,
You can count on me.

I will give you a wink,
Untile you smile,
Give you a hug,
And stand by your side.

I`ll be there for you till the end,
I`ll always and forever,

BE YOUR FRIEND!!

I love my friend more than life but he is oblivious to my feelings. He flies away out of my life, hurting me without knowing it - for he has chosen someone else for his true love. The pain of loss is so intense I can but puzzle at it, stunned - ah sweet, sweet friend, I will love you forever, no matter what.

Christine Runciman from New Zealand
