IS THAT LOVER OR FRIEND



Is this love?
Kissing and licking
From cheeks to lips
Calling and texting
From dawn till midnight
Humanity is frustrating


What about teamwork?
This is what I'm made of
Benefiting behind and beside
I can't imagine my absence
To be honest I enjoy that


Remembering our memories
There was once a promise
My parents and yours
Just to give the best
And we believed that!


Maybe you want marriage
To propose
I can,
But the ring
Gold or silver
I can't,
UNLESS YOU WANT ME JAILED.

About this poem

Poem is about wether is love or friends. What I get from her I can't figure between the two Just communication with no action whole day until I think it's evryones nature She tells together we can do great things But I did many things without her, she just want to take advantage of me to benefit Just before I met her, I believe she suffered But remembering the past, before the western culture and modernity In our tribe, parent could look for partner whom you'll be married to when you're adult ,but with the new culture other who were booked never meet nor met Parents believed to be doing the best but othes ended up being hurt till now Maybe after I marry her she'll change The gap is the ring to propose as she swore not to take any ring beside gold and silver REMEMBER I HAVE NO JOB Unless I steal
