the trial's I've endoured becoming friends with a complete stranger to the point where he's missing now, this is what I experienced.


I Was There

"I was there" when we first met, long time ago, you captured me with your charm and kindness and I guess that's what really drove me to you as we talked for extended periods of time even tho I had things to do but I couldn't turn away. "I was there" when we talked about meeting each other but it just never seemed plausable when things seemed right, but something happened that would change our lives in a totally different direction. I remember the very day when we said we were to meet in Ocen City New Jersey to finally become friends, spending one glorious and fun night together on the boardwalk helped us get to know each other better even tho we already knew soo much as it was but the first night was a bust as I actually cried my eyes out JUST because I missed meeting you for the first time, did you know that?, I hope you remember that memory so deerly to your heart as it was to me. "I was there" when we finally met, your charm made me so safe with you as a friend and I knew that you would be the one to bring me out of this shell of being so quiet. I considered you as my brother and I still do to this day. "I was there" for you when your mother died that tragic day, but do not blame yourself, your mother knew you would be safe with me and my family and I promiced that you always will. "I was there" that weekend specialty to come be with you to help you greve through the process to help be the brother you needed me to be during your time of need. "I was there" to help give you a second home, to make you feel special, to make you feel wanted even if your sister never accepted you; but I did; your brother. "I was there" to show you around my home town, was it fun big brother?, I hope it was. "I was there" when you told me you would be there when I graduated high school, I remember that night so well, it pour down rained that evening, you never showed... but I forgave you even tho you broke your promice to me. "I was there" for you when you told me all about the boy's you've been chacing around and so willingly dated without really knowing them so well, I stayed by your side, letting you know that I'm always there for you through your decision, no matter what, and I stuck by it. "I was there" the day I called you up on the phone... but you were not the one who answered, but a drunk man on the other side, I pleeded to talk to you but no matter what I couldn't convice the man to talk to you even for a moment. Eventually I got to talk to you but just for a moment, "I was there", when we fought over the phone because I told you honestly that I knew you were in danger with this man, but you didn't listen, and told me other wise. I couldn't hold back the tears that streamed from my eye's as I listen to his uncoherent man rambled on and on about "I better never hurt you" and you know in your heart I never did... "I was always there", but were you?
I made it to the point in my life that I was to be wed.
I called you on the phone and tried to IM you about being my best man at my wedding but to no prevail.
Were you really there when I needed you most?
My heart still yerns to find you... my brother... because "I'm going to be there" for you Spikerail

I have experienced similar often. Being their when some one needs that perfect stranger. Some one who listens , some one to unload to. Then the times comes to move on. The friends if you like roll plaid out. It can be hard when that time has been reached. Be happy that you were when you were most needed.
