(Water ) What about your friends ?

Could it be I stayed away too long ? Did I leave your mind when I was gone? Well I'm back . my leaving can be chalked up to "I was busy " or "I was working late " but like any other person of value to me . you as my valued readers deserve way more .before I get started  I want to give a shot out to Ms Smith who I saw and told me she enjoyed the blog . Thank  you . That was just what I needed to get back on it . Without Luther distraction , I wanted to say how easily we forget about  our girl friends for the sake of a significant other . we will gladly leave a friend in the dust in attempts to find our Neyo in the dating matrix "the one " . I laugh when I'm writing this because I find it funny that I was so quick to use we when I know not all women do it..... Right . As for me , I have long become guilty of this act of treason against my home-girls , girlfriends or whatever you call them .  My last act was some time ago when a good friend of mine had a birthday dinner. I opted instead to go to Philadelphia to see the guy I was dating. I knew   that her birthday was important and  it was more important for me to be there than for me to see him .  in my acts of desperation chose to go with him . Needless to say , it didn't go over so well . she is still a great friend and he is in the dust . Not to mention the trip was a bust. He asked me to clean his house , he had no food and did not take me anywhere until it was time for me to go . It was a hard lesson learned .  Recently I met someone new . I have been able to find a balance but I still neglected the readers which at this point I consider friends . I'm not saying anyone is like water but I will say this :    love is wonderful something we all look for in one sense but when looking for romantic love, Always remember the love your friends have for you . They will be the ones to cheer you up when that fool has ripped out a piece of you . I'm just sayin .
