It’s often said, “I just want to be friends;”
a conversation stopper, for sure.
It’s where a one sided love ends;
but such a friendship never endures.
Most seem to think that opposites attract;
that polarity will draw them together;
yet, many find, their opposites attack;
and feel like a tight fitting sweater.
But friendship is the butler to love;
and laughter is its chauffeur;
friends, like lovers, fit like a glove;
their thought waves often concur.
A friend is a protector, and more;
much like a family member;
always there, when battered and sore;
from January through December.
In the worst of times a friend is there;
one who will never desert you;
one you turn to; your troubles to bear;
whenever you’re feeling blue.
If you can laugh and cry together;
you form a most perfect bonding;
a unified team that lasts forever;
with never a partner absconding.
To guarantee your love lasts forever;
first of all; be “just friends”;
binding you in what you endeavor;
and insuring your love never ends.
