A wise and soulful woman on CP; we had exchanged some words
Heated comments flew between us; many which I can't explain
I took to heart the things she said; her opinion warranted its worth
But sadly days went by; needlessly angst left us both in pain

There was some confusion to a post that I'd left upon my site
She came to the rescue of a man of whom she thought she knew
She'd made me realize that what I'd posted was not at all right
Without her having knowledge; the lost empathy within me grew

I'd blocked her from my message list and wished for no contact
Her poetry intrigued me and I could not help but sneak and read
The more I read I saw her heart and soul were deeply so intact
I swore I'd leave no posts; I read, I wept and felt a desperate need

Yes, we have our different views and things we just can't justify
In many ways we're so alike; she's trusting and naive like me
Too much of a trusting soul; she's been hurt and made to cry
My sixth sense I should have used to assist and help me see

She forgivingly viewed my comments that I left for her to read
She answered back to me and apologized for all the pain
What she doesn't realize; she taught me lessons I did need
I was hurting someone foolishly; called me on it, so I gained

This drew attention to her poems; I've learned a great deal
She's so full of wisdom and her life mirrors much like mine
I find it so refreshing to find such honesty and a heart so real
Traits as pure as this in these sad times are just so hard to find

My Friend, I'm honored that you've given me this second chance
I never meant to hurt you, cause bad feelings or to make you cry
Life is for living, speak your mind; as they say, "I hope you dance"
And just remember, part of life is at times we won't see eye to eye.

But it doesn't mean that I don't love you  :o)
