FRIENDSHIP IS LOYALTY

I don’t love you for your passion,
Your applause; you accolades,
For the common vogue or fashion,
That false friendship oft parades.
I don’t love you for your talents,
Your skills and expertise…
Nor because you’re bold or gallant,
Nor for what you might believe.
I love you for one reason,
For one reason that is true,
Combining every season,
For I love you, because you’re you.
And that my friend is binding,
Whatever you may do.
