You don't Have to like me. We don't have to be Best friends. I drink black coffee, You sweet tea. I shake hands, You hug. My fragrance May be too citric, Your spice Adds too much heat. Your words Flutter like butterflies, Mine sink like heavy rocks Thrown into a lake. Sea cave is where I live, You on the mountain top, The prairie connects us. I look nothing like you now, But we looked the same At our first cry, And will again At our last breath. What we need Is a simple nod, Reverent room for doubts, Faith in the truth, Divine amber of Genuine good will For each other. You don't Have to like me. We don't have to be Best friends. Just take me As is And so I take you.
