Why be affectionate?
When the love you show is - questioned, misrepresented, and misapprehended.
Why be nice?
When the kindness you give is - mishandled, abused, and unappreciated.
Why be honest?
When the trust you have is - tested, doubted, and invalidated.
So why be friends?
When the ingredients of friendship are not equally measured.
The memories and special moments are not emotionally treasured.
And only one of us find quality time to be mentally pleasured.
Why be friends?
When we hesitate to share our fears, failures, and success.
We envy and feel jealousy of one's happiness.
When talking about your past is eventually used against you.
And your intimate desires are exposed and a fear of judgement becomes true.
Why be friends?
When the platonic, unconditional love you feel is only noticeable and cherish when another comes short of expressing their emotions.
When apologies are replaced with excuses and logical explanations.
And our conversations are carefully guided to avoid confrontations.
Why be friends?
When you become a reminder of confusion and condemnation.
She holds back and refuses a deeper connection to avoid people's speculation.
My heart longs for freedom and acceptance because what I feel has always been real -
but it has been rejected, denied, and placed as second best.
So why be friends?
