May Thoughts

17 may, 22:48

It seems that when I have had the inclination to post,
 I have not had the time.
When I have had the time I have not had the inclination.
I've thought about it a lot... but not put thought into action.
I have written, but not completed my train of thought...

I've spoken to a few people 
who i have not contacted for a while...
each one has semi rebuked me for not being in touch.
Err... excuse me, am I the only one with a phone?
 Isn't communication a two-way thing?
So why is it just me who hasn't rung?

 I haven't wanted to, perhaps they sense this... perhaps.
They are people I have been close to over the years,
 but the relationship generally consists of 
them talking & me listening,
though they would not recognise it as such. 
They are lovely people. They could do with my support.
But I put off phoning because I know
 I need at least an hour (or two) to listen...
It has become something I ought to do, rather than want to do.
 For a long time I have not been fulfilled
 by merely being supportive.
Friendship is a two-way thing...

If they were boyfriends I'd end it saying 'It's not you, it's me' 
After all, it is me that's changed not them...
but it's different with friends.

Perhaps this annoyance was a pmt thing...
Maybe we can re-balance or maybe we have run our course,
time will tell....

I find, more and more as I get older, that silence is a blissful thing. Our lives are so busy.
