Sentimental Friends

Chorus:
Around you, I felt completely at ease.
And, I didn't mind when you teased.
We didn't even start and now things must come to an end.
Sentimental friends.


You were my inspiration.
And, helped me to believe in my aspirations.
To find the courage to believe in my dreams.
And to follow whatever goals on the horizon gleams.

Chorus

There aren't many to who I can open up my heart.
And make me be real, each and every part.
Never before had I felt completely myself.
And, it's hard to place my heart back onto the shelf.

Chorus

Underneath that tough exterior is a tender smile.
Hiding your real self all the while.
Life catches up and makes your true colors shine through.
Maybe I was meant to meet and become inspired by you.

Chorus

We didn't even start and now things must come to an end.
Sentimental friends.

      Thanks, Desire. Haven't taken a look at this poem in quite awhile. I almost forgot what a favorite of mine this was. That ending sure breaks the heart, eh?

      Thanks for reading and commenting, Desire. Always appreciate the support.

      I think I was in a really bluesy mood when I wrote this. It feels better to get the feelings and thoughts out on paper sometimes, though. Thanks for commenting.

    I didn't know a song would have so many chorus' without a label of verses but this isn't cheesy, it is touching and sad.

      Thanks. Yeah, I tend to write lyrics this way, without labeling the verses and just the chorus and put notes when the chorus repeats. If it's an improper way, I'm not aware of it. I've been writing lyrics this way since 2003. Thanks for commenting.

    Ha,it's not cheesy at all. It's been awhile since you wrote some lyrics, I had forgotten how well you do them. I love the chorus. Keep writing and thanks for sharing another of your poems.

      Thanks, Charley. Glad you didn't think it was cheesy. Yeah, I can't remember having written lyrics for quite awhile. I honestly can't remember when it was. I would have to look back in my history here to see. Yeah, the chorus flows well, eh? Glad you stopped by and commented. Always appreciate your support, Charley.

    Touching

    Far from cheesy. I thought this was very thought provoking and not too sappy because the awareness of the reality of relationships. I have done myself an injustice by not making time to visit your work. I will get better when things slow down. Great Job.

      Thanks. This actually isn't so much about relationships as it is about failed friendships.
      Don't worry about not having the time. I am busy myself these days since going back to college. I haven't had any time to research cosmology and philosophy to write about reincarnation and the universe at all. I hope to get back into the flow of things a little bit by Christmas. Thanks for stopping by, Rhon.

    This is a great little song. I can imagine it as a lyric with a few guitars playing in the background. I thought you expressed your feelings very well.

      Thanks. Yeah, a lyric feel was what I was going for. With maybe an acoustic guitar and maybe piano or keyboard. I haven't really put it to music yet, though. Thanks for commenting.

    It may be cheese to some, but it isn't to me. Some of the best poetry out there, modern and classic alike, is brilliant for its sentimental emotion. This one holds an essence of nostalgia for me, perhaps because I found my "sentimental friend" later in life. It still feels as if we truly were childhood friends. "Maybe I was meant to meet and become inspired by you." I really fell for that line; it's lovely because I relate to it so much. Sometimes it's just nice to read something that doesn't require much thought, just feeling. Keep 'em coming.

      Thanks, Brit. Yeah, looking at this again, maybe sentimental stuff do make the best writes sometimes. And, I usually don't write poems that are straight from the heart, so this was a nice change of pace for me to do. Thanks for the comment.

      Hey, thanks. Sometimes I think cheesy writes aren't all that great, but I guess you're right that it's nice to read sometimes. Kind of a cheer upper sort of poem that can help to take away a person's blues, right? Thanks for commenting.
