People say
That I ask for too much
That I'm too needy
That friendship
Is waving to someone
Occasionally smiling at them
Maybe talking to them in a group conversation
Never alone
But friendship
Is more than that
That's what I do with
Acquaintances
Am I your acquaintance?
Don't call me your friend
If that's all you want to be
Friendship is love
Friendship is beauty
Friendship
You put in effort
Try to talk
Or see
Or spend time face to face
If you're close enough
Texting back frequently
Portraying that love
None of that fake
"We're friends"
Because I don't believe it
But I believe in love
I'm trying to
Believe in you
What'll it take
For you to
Believe in me?
