| On returning from a friend's wedding... |

[i]And the reason that she loved him,
was the reason I loved him too.
And he never wondered what was right or wrong,
he just knew,
he just knew...

I'd like to share with you some lines I wrote for my friend Jen on the occasion of her wedding. Things have not always been perfect between Jen and I, and I'm ashamed to say that at one point I opposed her relationship to her now-husband. It was a mistake I don't think I'll ever truly forgive myself for. She has never been anything but 100% supportive of me, and several years ago I betrayed that support. I didn't want to share Jen with anybody. I was wrong, and although she'll never read this, I'm very sorry for what I did. I think she knows it anyway.
[b]Watching Friends Dance[/b]
We are creatures of time and great impermanence,
and our span of years will fall behind our dancing feet with reckless speed.
Yet on nights like these we leave our lasting marks,
indelible impressions on those around us,
the ones we love,
and the places where we meet,
written in an ink that defies the passing of years.
In the sharing we are like the shooting star that, streaking across the night sky,
blazes with a brilliance that lingers on our inner eye longer than its fleeting passage.
And when the time before us dwindles in the face of years behind,
running our fingers over the pages of our books,
we will recall these moments of greatest bliss,
with joy piled upon joy,
and for a moment we will walk the paths we walked this night,
dance the dances,
remember our shared moments,
and relive our happiness.
I love you Jen. Thank you for being my friend...
