Friendship Hurts Sometimes...
Friendship is a beautiful thing,
but Friendship also has the potential to hurt.
The moment you let off your guard,
The moment you let someone...
Into your business,
Know what's happening to you,
Know what you're thinking,
What you're feeling,
What you're saying,
What you're not saying,
What you love,
What you hate,
You inevitably open yourself for hurt.
Friends never mean to hurt you,
In fact in their opinion, they're out to protect you,
But that doesn't stop the fact that...
Friendship hurts sometimes...
It's the very little things they say,
The very little things left unsaid.
It's in the careless words that's spilled,
Out of familiarity sake,
It's in belief that you'll understand,
The belief that you can't get upset,
In the belief that you'll forgive,
In the belief that they know you,
In the belief that those words meant nothing.
That's what Friendship brings... Familiarity
Can you do without Friendship??
Yes, many will answer
But the truth about life is...
No MAN is an Island.
That no matter how guarded we are,
No matter how untrusting we maybe,
No matter how protective of ourselves we are,
No matter how secure,
No matter how strong,
No matter how independent,
When we do find Friendship,
Its indeed a beautiful thing.
To love and be loved in return,
To accept and be accepted,
To be able to open up to a friend,
To know that they'll be there when needed,
To know they'll understand,
To know you've got a friend,
That is priceless....
But..... Friendship will also mean
Accepting them for who they are,
Forgiving them when they hurt you,
Understanding them,
Knowing they never meant it for evil.
Letting it go and moving on...
It's all a part of the price we pay in Friendship.
I'm hurt and I can't deny it.
It's by a friend and I can't deny it.
I forgive, but I can't deny the hurt.
I let go, but that's a choice I've had to make.
Life is a Choice....
To Live or To Die....
Is in itself a Choice.
Today I choose despite the hurt,
to remain friends with you...

nice one. friends are treasures with which we add more meaning to our lives!
Deep... sometimes I've been hurt by someone and even though I've forgiven, it's not been the same again.
I have learned in a way that although I might need friends, I don't need too many.
Take care and I am giving you a HUGE hug now... x
too true...
rememebr people come to your life for a reason, season or lifetime. its best to know who is who...
@Excitedjade, I'm leaning strongly o! because tha matter just pain me. Anyway, I'm leaning o! so better make sure I don't fall :-))
@Ugo, I agree with you o! They indeed are a treasure and a blessing to have especially when you don't have alot of them.
@LB, My dear, it's been a while men... I've been the one away though. Meanwhile I'm hugging back seriously, hope you feel me holding tightly?? :-))...cos I actually do need a hug right now abeg.
Meanwhile, I guess the reason it hurt is cos i don't have too many friends. It might have seemed petty but I was upset.
Anyway how you dey?? missed you o! I'm still doing blog rounds so I'll definitely get to you soon :-)
@LC mon dia, hm... so true... but there are people who you just know are in your life to stay. I guess sometimes we just can't help hitting at each other especially when we didn't mean to. It's all good though. I guess I'm feeling better now.
How you dey?? I never reach your side o! Expect me soon, so better go prepare something nice and cold for my visit :-))
Its nice that you choose to forgive, hope it doesn't affect your friendship.
Oh no it doesn't. Atleast not in this case. Yeah, I'll definitely be a little more watchful next time and if it does happen again, I'll definitely point it out. In the meantime, I'm just going to let it go. Moreover it's actually not anything serious, maybe it just got on my wrong side.
hmmm...very deep.
infact i have been hurt my several friends
but there is still this particular one that hurt me so much..
But God is taking the pain away gradually...hmm
