A friend to everyone
but only few are friends

love should be simple
like a friendship
I can only remember 2 years where I didn't have a close friend

but the opposite sex makes it so hard
with it's modern day measuring sticks
how much money do they make
are they good looking enough

Expectations are the murderers of romance
they look for reasons to dismiss it
before love has a chance to bloom
or a friendship prosper

hiding behind insecurities
is a trivial task
questioning timing
love isn't a credit check

it is simple
like a video game shared
sealed with
a kiss

This is sadly true. You have written a wise piece here.

So many don't give love a chance to be, because of those reasons. It takes very strong personalities to "simply love".

Good job.

Love,

I have a plaque here in my house and it states, "In order to have a friend, you first have to be one!"  Good poem.

Carpe' Diem,
