Can we still be friends........

Can We Still Be Friends
We can’t play this game anymore, but
Can we still be friends
Things just can’t go on like before, but
Can we still be friends
We had something to learn
Now it’s time for the wheel to turn
Things are said one by one
Before you know it’s all gone
Let’s admit we made a mistake, but
Can we still be friends
Heartbreak’s never easy to take, but
Can we still be friends
It’s a strange sad affair
Sometimes seems like we just don’t care
Don’t waste time feeling hurt
We’ve been through hell together
La la la la, la la la la
Can we still be friends
Can we still get together sometime
We awoke from our dream
Things are not always what they seem
Memories linger on
It’s like a sweet sad old song

Never knew that was Todd Rundgren… so even a vintage rocker like me`s still got something to learn!
Tracey, you teach me something new every day. Like how this sentiment still touches me since the days of all those high school romances, where `can we still be friends’ always ended up as the catchphrase on the lips of one side or the other… we were always amazed if it lasted a month!!
And the sadness comes through so eloquently in your image… what really struck me is the way the heart seems to float at half-mast, like the helium filled balloon after a couple of days when you wake up to find it half way up the bedroom wall instead of pushing up against the ceiling as it yearned to rise to the heavens only a short time before.
So yeah, if I`d seen this before you explained, it would have filled me with sadness. But a true artist captures mood… it doesn`t matter if it`s current or past history, but our souls are nurtured on the mix of many moods, and I find it amazing the way you manage to document so many of them for us to embrace and feel their emotion so deeply. THIS is what makes your art so relevent to so many Tracie… the way you illustrate emotion goes far beyond the ordinary.
This is stunning work, beautifully lit and colored and with such engaing composition and framing. Kinda wish the calendar year had a couple more months…
