Quiet Emotions

by Judy Burnette

I always wanted more from you

than you were willing to give;

So now we've gone our separate ways

each with different lives to live.

The bond will always be there

the friendship always intact;

But the time for us has come and gone

and the pages of time, you can't turn back.

I will always be a friend to you

and wonder how you are;

The smiles and laughter I will remember

and our fights have become painless scars.


Sometimes on those busy days

when you've a thousand things to do;

Please let me glide slowly through your mind

and spend some time with you.


In that quiet moment

when you're surprised to find me there;

Just remember even with the distance between us

I am still someone who cares.
