Love Poem: FRIEND-ship

FRIEND-ship

Relationships are built 
On foundations.
Where some are firm,
Others are flimsy.

We often forget
What relationships are.
With a change of title
Comes immense pressure.

‘Boyfriend’ or ‘girlfriend’
In terms of ourselves.
Even ‘husband’ or ‘wife’
Or endearing titles you use
Come with expectations 
Nobody is ready for.

So often we forget
As these expectations blind us
And the title distracts us,
So often we forget
To just be a friend
With an additional title.

Continue being my friend In the relationship And watch how easy It starts to become.
