love is easy to fall into.
love is hard but still
so so easy,
to fall out of.

many are the women
I have desired.
enough are the women
I have lain beside.

but friends true, in all my life,
number less than the fingers
on one hand.

Sometimes your lovers
are also your friends.
lovers must learn
the other's boundaries,
respect them,
to stay lovers.

ex-lovers,
jumping back and forth,
over that
crack in the sidewalk,
trying, but man,
that's so hard,
almost never bother.

but give me one true friend,
man or woman,
will give them my blood,
my skin, my organs, my money,
and never ask for anything back
or in return.

simply because,
I will never need
ask.
