FUNNY OLD WORD IS LOVE

Some use the word , love all to easily

Wile others choke on the word love , a shame

Leave the word love unsaid , mores the pity

A girl , a woman , can and on the whole , say the word often

Say to a friend , a woman , friend that is '' love you '' on parting

Fore blokes , well , should a man say '' love you '' to a bloke

He'd be given , and old fashioned kind of look , you know what I'm saying

His sexuality questioned , in a look , a stare , a raced eyebrow , maybe

So men tend to sadly avid using the word love , at all cost , live to regret

Not saying I LOVE YOU! , ME OLD MATE , MY FRIEND

I have this mate , we've , friends , mates what seems a life time now

We talked , we listen , some times shed tears at times together , never

Embarrassed

Been each others rock , some times each others oak tree , the rock may rock

The oak bend , but never brakes , the rock , never chips , so never shatters

Some times we let rip , right angry , '' well you get that '' , as he would say

We'd rock a bit , bend somewhat in that wind , that blows up like a hurricane

The storm subsides , calms down , we see each other reassuringly smiling

One day out of the blue , me mate said '' I love you '' , then he wented as he

Would say , we like to invent words , we're like that do the two of us it's our way

Both sober as temperance members

Now I say on parting after a chin wag '' love you '' , then I wented , go about

Me day or night

We are both hetero , straits , as some may, say as it happens

We have never met in the flesh so to say

We've been best mates , best friends , since we first met

We have said , what was needed , then and now

Me mate not so well , when it were me , he were in touch , evrey day

He carried me through my darkest days and nights

We love each other as only true mates , true friends can and do

LOVE YOU MATE!

The older I get, the more often I use the word.

Nicely written, Ken. I especially liked, "Been each others rock, some times each others oak tree." That's true friendship.
