Stories about friends

Get close but not that close…
Give attention but not that much…
Give comfort but not that sensitive…
Ask him to accompany you but not to hug you…

Consider your differences before you step in and say “you’re my friend”…
Ask them out for dinner but stop assuming they will nod…
Open your heart for them but stop thinking they’ll do the same…
Seize the day with them and try to forget that they may lie…

Listen to him but not with hope for anything else…
Be there for him but don’t do anything stupid…
Laugh with him but remember that it’s just occasional…
Smile whenever he takes pictures of you but don’t think that he wants more…


This is my story of friendship.
One story for each paragraph.
A balance between hurt and gratefulness
And a thought that I might still be lucky to have them.
