Friends not meant to be lovers
Lovers not meant to be friends
A boy so confused over the his thoughts
Sinful thoughts race across his mind
Why is it that he cant shake this rhyme?
It is the boy
The one with the corn flower hair
He shapes and dances through the air
So light
So agile
So fearless
Except for the love he feels for another
God couldn’t have created a worse problem than that


To you I gave my trust
To you I lost my heart
Judgment made a choice
That altered this world
Two lives changed forever
Friends not meant to be lovers
Lovers not meant to be friends

To air is human to forgive divine
Forgiving a fool
Is best left to thine
Friends not meant to be lovers
Beyond his control
In a world with so much pain
Please tell me I still have you
Lovers not meant to be friends
Lola even though I know it would never work with Steve I would cross that line over and over again if I could. There are just some people who even though they don't turn out the way we wanted that I believe must be in our lives.
Hill, the image wasn't created by me I found it online by just typing in secret gay relationships in googles search engine. If you look close the eyes looking back at you belong to Lance Bass from NSync who recently came out.
Sarah I choose the image to reflect the future by driving forward while looking in the rearview mirror which means examining the past.

Ricky the poem you wrote is very moving. I am strongly drawn to the image you chose to go along with it, is it something your created? I have taken so many pictures in car mirrors because I like how it represents where your going and where your comming from. I think the image you choose does just that, it shows the road you travled down and the path your headed down now. The line im drawn to in yoru poem is, "two lives changed forever." I always think about how when two people are so deeply intwined how one persons decision has such a profound effect on both people.

I must say that first line really struck me as well. It is so full emotion and meaning. Friends not meant to be lovers, I feel like that implies that the relationship was a mistake, or that it would never work out in the end. I think many people can relate to that, when things with a friend become romantic, but it doesn't turn out well for some reason it can be very hard, I might say impossible to get back to that kind of friendship shared before. The lovers not meant to be friends line was what really interested me. I feel like this line could have so many different meanings. It could be saying that it was destined that you would be lovers, even if it would turn our badly. In a wider sense though I think it could be about lovers who aren't friends, so it would be more of a physical relationship. I don't think this is what it means in relation to your poem, but I think its cool to just examine those two lines to see all the different types of relationships that they could be referring too because I think they tap into the emotions of not only your situation but of many other peoples as well.

I love that line like Lola, the "Friends not meant to be lovers, Lovers not meant to be friends", I am not sure why but it really struck a heart string with me. The poem to me had a lot of self-torment in it was that the intention?

Ricky,
First off, excellent job. The emotions are pouring directly from your heart and into this poem, its obvious to me. I love the use of perspective you have taken; the first stanza is almost from looking afar and then it goes in to a more personal piece the “to you I gave my trust To you I lost my heart” lines really add (and quiet honestly I think those two lines could stand alone, they are so powerful!) Also, the line “To air is human to forgive divine” seems extremely well thought out and with what follows “Forgiving a fool Is best left to thine” seems to put the ball in Steve’s court. I think the perspective is great there. The image you chose reminds me of looking back or nostalgia, which is what I imagine it seemed to you when writing this, no? Did anything in particular motivate the image?

"Friends not meant to be lovers, Lovers not meant to be friends." You have repeated this statement at least twice. Do you think this emphasis has any particular meaning? If you were able to do it all over again, would you cross the "friendship" line again?

I decided to do a poem my fourth assignment. This one has had the first two lines written “Friends not meant to be lovers, Lovers not meant to be friends” for a while and I was so glad to finally have a reason to sit down and force my self to read them over and write a poem. I felt it was very important to just sit down and write what came to mind when I started to think about high school and Steve. I wanted the process to be very organic in nature and I wanted not encourage thinking about his perspective but rather my own. I always listened to that old adage that you should write what you know and the only thing about our affair that I truly know is how I felt so although some of the line pertain to Steve also they were written to reflect the character of myself. I really enjoyed this assignment it has being a way to almost heal wounds that I have left open for a while.
