All poetry by Kat Angus..with quotes from Heather Nova's "London Rain" in the poem "Tim #2". Another friends set! Not finished yet!!

-JILLYN-

A raven-haired girl
i once met in a hall
head lifted high
voice lyrical and small,
caring and giving
all that she could do
making it easy
to release all you needed to.
Strength of the seas
under that skin
there isn't a person
she couldn't see good in.
unaware of the beauty
that's reaching out for you
see, if you'd met Jillyn
you'd love her, too.


-TIM-

In all honesty, i was
close to breaking
scared of reaching out
to yet another
who'd only crush me.

i could see much deeper into you
i could see much more into that face

it was harder
than i thought it would be
and it hurt to say those words
(i almost cried)
but i'm making it.

We're making it.


-ANGIE-

I knew you wouldn't falter
i knew you wouldn't
walk out on me.
I'm crushed
i ended a life
i used to love living
for a life
that seemed so blurred.
i will be okay without him
(well you always knew that).

I am so looking forward
to spending more time
with just you and me.
The party will be great!

Thankyou
for always being
just you.


-JEEVES-

Please forgive me
if i have burdened you
in any way
by telling you
words i've long been wanting to say.

Thankyou, friend
for accepting my truths
and telling no lies.
Thankyou for understanding
my life's confusions
and standing by me until the end.

Please forgive me, Jeeves
for underestimating you
and taking you for granted.

Thankyou
i am honoured
to call you friend.


-TIM #2-

"When somebody knows you well
well there's no comfort like that"

thankyou for:
your hugs
your cuddles
your smiles
your listening ears
your comforting words
your openness
your humour
your willingness to go anywhere,
hear anything,
be there anytime,
your phone call
(with more to come)
your generousity
and your light.

"when somebody needs you
well there's no drug like that."
