I hope you didn't see me leave,
and that you're not aware I've gone.
I hope I meant much less to you
than your presence meant to me.
Your pseudo intellectual rants
were scathing, shallow and flawed.
With feeling and enthusiasm
I tried to feed your thoughts,
but your responses made me a fool,
and so I was, to care for you.
Hence your four hundred and seventy two,
is less an insignificant one.
Hehehe. We all (well, those of us who are hooked anyway) use facebook differently. I have friends (real face to face ones) who have over 600 "friends" on their facebook. There's no way they'd notice one or two falling by the wayside which feels to me an odd definition of friend. Just playing with the discrepancy.
I'm guessing the numbers refer to one fewer Facebook friend. Hope the person concerned is not a fellow WOL poet? (Quickly checks his Facebook profile. Phew ...) In that case, sounds like you're well rid, Alison!
'Four hundred and seventy two', I guess, is the number of 'friends' recorded on some social networking site, like Facebook.
It's hard to decide to 'dump' someone as a 'friend', though, even in this artificial environment, isn't it?
Nicely put sentiments, Alison.
I'd guess that '472' is a much larger number of 'friends' than you have recorded on your profile, because 'friend' has a much deeper meaning for you.
Not sure I understand the numbers here? You have managed to get accross a feeling of casting off and misplaced frendship though. Win x
