Only A Friend
Times keep changing in this world of ours;
on that, alone, you can depend;
standing out; like a weed among flowers;
is that one, who’s only a friend.
A friend is that one; who is always around;
especially when, most needed;
the bond of friendship is most profound;
it must be acknowledged and heeded.
Friendship is an advanced form of love;
where neither has an axe to grind;
both, with ties to the heavens above;
a personal link, mind to mind.
Sometimes mere friends, become lovers;
tho, as friends, their love had begun;
eventually consenting to forsake all others;
two hearts and souls; beat as one.
More often, friends remain simply friends;
tho, by one, romance is invited;
the passions of romance; on two, depends;
and one has a love; unrequited.
Such friends; become as sisters and brothers;
they will remain such to this life’s end;
never shall they become passionate lovers;
they’re destined to remain; only a friend.
Friendship; a most admirable and worthy role;
on such; all our futures depend;
in heaven; friendship is the love of the soul;
the greatest of all is your friend.
