A True Friend

I will never disrespect another person's recognition of my humanity.
I will never hurt the heart of another human being.
I will never, ever, steal their dignity.

I will never experience intimacy, and not honor it in the way it deserves to be honored.
I will never give my body, or touch anyone else's, without appreciation, and reverence.
I will never, ever, share true, deep lovemaking - and ever dishonor that person, or that gift.....in any way.

I will never be the recepient of true friendship, and not be a true friend.
I will never pledge loyalty and betray, promise honesty and lie, vow love and be hateful.
I will never receive tenderness, and love, and caring.....and not be deeply humbled.....and forever grateful.

I will never be supported during my darkest moments and not be there for that person.
I will never be accepted unconditionally, in all my imperfectness, and not be in awe of the size of that heart.
I will never, ever, have my soul seen and brought to life, and then wantonly destroy someone else's.

I will never be truly cared for, and about, by someone - and not care about what happens to them.
I will never be inspired by, and believed in, and forget it.......ever.

I will never be like him.
