Treasured Friendships
|
Treasured Friendships Here is a poem I wrote over two years ago.  Male and female friendships They can be so precious. They can offer outlooks That are not seen by the same sex. I value all my friends But my male friends Offer valuable advice And I proffer the same To them. At times it can be lifesaving Or at the very least Save us from embarrassment. And I am one for keeping My integrity And self respect Which is saving face. Some of my male friends are married I may or may not know their<b> wives. </font></b>I hear about their lives But sometimes when they speak Of their intimate relations I wish otherwise. It is not that I am jealous. Well perhaps a little bit. For that connection with a man I am currently missing. Which is the combination Of a lover and a friend. I have crossed the line With a few of them And then somehow We scaled it back To be platonic Somehow it has worked As our mental connection Has stayed present. There may always be A sexual tension. That allows the friends to Talk flirtatiously. I find it good practice In relations with guys Who could be potential lovers. We only have one life Why should we limit Who we are friends with Just because of their gender? If their hearts and minds are open If they have no ulterior motives? And like I said The tension... Is it just me or does it Still produce endorphins? Yes, those wonderful feelings That lift our spirits Put smiles on our faces And make us feel a little better And I am a firm believer, That that is one of life's' treasures. Independently Romantic Sounds Better Than Lonely |

I struggle with this. Especially when you are in a relationship or are working on being in one, or have a long standing history of one. I have a couple of male friends that I have been in contact with for many years. One I actually meet face to face many years ago and one that we have only conversed by phone. We are strictly platonic but yes, I have to admit that at times there is a little sexual tension and flirtation when we talk on the phone, but I and they both know that is all it is. I have a special someone that has been in my life for many years and within the last year he has connected with a female friend. He tells me that is all they are, they just talk. I would be silly to not think the same happens there. Granted she is a thousand miles or more away but it bothers the daylights out of me. . I have talked with her also ,we have all talked together. I'm not sure if that was good or not. She and I no longer talk as she has broken communication with me. I know it sounds like a double standard that it is ok for me to talk with my male friends and him not to talk to her. I am really trying to be more open minded about it, but it is so hard! Esp since there is way more to the story that doesn't need to be gone into. Any kind of relationship needs to be based on trust and respect. We need to respect each of our feelings on the matter more and trust each other. Thanks for letting me vent on this subject. I needed that!!  Classy, Sassy, and a little Smart-Assy Sine Metu CN
