Friends

Ella,Thursday, 26 November 2009

We’re not friends because

Of the feelings we have for each other.

I’m not even sure I care about you

Or that you care about me.

You once told me “I have enough friends.

I don’t need another one”.

I saw the mean part of you

Just like I showed you the weak part of me.

We know each other’s dark secrets and weaknesses

And that’s what makes us human and forgiving

And maybe that’s what keeps us together.

Sometimes I mirror myself in you,

Some other times I look for my exact opposite in you.

If I need to find echoes of my thoughts

Or, on the contrary, be shaken down to earth,

I come to you.

It may be habit or boredom or convenience

The fact remains that we cling to each other

Like two old friends who’ve seen good and bad

And have survived the test of time.

I don’t know about feelings,

But I do know that we act like friends

When we share what our day has been like;

Or when we go together to the theatre

Or to the opera and exchange books.

When we complain about men and politics

And recommend each other movies

And share a nice cup of tea or a glass of wine.
