L'amitie

Friendship is often forged,

Fabricated as a result of like circumstances

Contrived from similar interests

Constructed due to the mere ease of it all.

Occasionally these effortless friendships

Outrun the duration of the likeness

But it seems that they often instead

Fall aside as conveniently as they arose.

And yet, the friendships that I crave

Are far beyond the circumstances,

Based rather in the true meeting of the souls involved:

Pure acceptance and love and truthfulness.

And as our worlds begin to revolve,

Orbit around different stars

The friendships adapt, evolve

The golden, shimmery strings of connection

Simultaneously loosen and tighten, 

Allowing freedom while maintaining intimacy.
