Reminds me of an old saying about people coming into our lives for a reason, a season, or a lifetime.

I think without friends we can't really know who we are. 

Every friendship, no matter how deep, affects us in different ways. 

I truly believe that friends are the family that you choose. 

Thanks for sharing tim.

never had friends really .. but i think you're right.  Thanks k.

I hear you little brother. I've oft said it's too easy to pretend that others aren't real people when separated by the ether or when we are wrapped inside a vehicle on the highway.

Thank you for your words.

You may not have a physical form here, but with a few words you are seen by so many. As always, beautifully done.

"Real" is an interesting concept now-a-days.

We experience the world through physical means, but more and more through electronic mediums. Does that make our relationships or friendships here less? We allow these electronic friends power over us by emotionally connecting with them. We let them in. We invest in one another's lives and spend emotional currency on them.

You've hit upon a truth, I think. Friends we make here are people we have entrusted with a part of our hearts.

Great poem, friend.

Wonderful. The internet is both good and evil.

i apologize for the lateness of this reply.  Thank you for reading and your comments.  This was a hard time for me, down some rabbit hole or another. Thank you for your patience. xoxoxo

It seems to me that e-Friends who share themselves through poetry are more "real" than 3D-Friends who share only their physical presence.  Thanks for sharing so much of yourself.

i agree, poetry exposes your soul ... that's what i want to know. What someone looks like or doesn't shouldn't matter here or in real life.  Here i only want to share my work, and in that way, myself.

thank you for your wonderful comments, BB   I'm glad you've decided to try poetry yourself xo
