Friends

Friends - Elizabeth Jennings

"I fear it's very wrong of me
And yet I must admit
When someone offers friendship
I want the whole of it.

I don't want everybody else
To share my friends with me.
At least I want one special one
Who indisputably,
Likes me much more than all the rest
Who's always on my side,
Who never cares what others say
Who lets me come and hide

Within his shadow, in his house -
It doesn't matter where -
Who lets me simply be myself,
Who's always, always, there."

[from personal collection]
