POEM STARTER
Write a poem about seeing the face of someone you love.
Whether romantic, platonic, or familial love, use emotive language to convery the feeling you get when you see this person.
What friendship is
I see you
And I realize
What friendship was meant to be
Its not transactional
Its unconditional
You love my highs and my lows
Just as I love yours
You listen to every word
As if you are starving for more
You look at me like I am stars myself
But in you I see the universe
Are we eachothers galaxy?
You gift me things
Which I reciprocate
But one is never the stop
You ask me what I want to do
I don’t have to ask first
You tell me I look cute
Even when i am a mess
You help me with the little things
My body can not handle
You offer up so much
Which I enjoy a bunch
I now realize what friendship is supposed to be
It’s isn’t one sided
Its more of a square
All the sides touching
Perfectly equal
So we each give and take
Our two sides of the story
It isn’t fake
You tell me its ok
Don’t make me push through
When Things get too hard
You listen to my pains, my aches
And offer up remedies
Instead of walking away
It isn’t transactional
You don’t expect to be repaid
And neither do I
We give and take
But not too much
And if we do
We talk it out
You helped me realize
What friendship is
And for that,
I say thank you
My friend
