Friendship
A hunger and thirst too strong can make a
friendship go wrong. Only a Love can contain it.
At its best, friendship means having someone
to lean on gently,
Someone to confide and share separate hopes
and dreams, allowing space in-be-tween,
A space that may or may not be bridged over time,
since Friendship and Love have their own paradigm.
