Can I call you a friend?
Because you’ll listen
to my ravings and ranting,
however inane
Because you’ll hear
the sorry unsaid.
Will I call you a friend?
Because you don’t see
my philanderings;
innumerable may be.
Because you don’t look
for those promises unkept;
that lack of sensitivity.
May I call you a friend?
Because you matter;
though senselessness pervades.
And I look around for you.
Because you’re the hold
while life rushes out from under my feet.

So very nice. One can have many friends, but a really true friend is like a rare diamond.
ReplyDeletezeitgeist,
ReplyDeleteBarter makes for a business partnership, whereas spontaneous giving makes for friendship.
Going with what you say would also make all business associates friends.
Very nice. Defined a friend very well.

Yes, by all means call me a friend. God is giving me eyes to see beyond color, religion and cultural differences and my life is enriched by many people because of this... :o)
