Friendship is not Facebook,

Or a means to an end,

Or coercion,

Bullying,

Or deception. 

But can wear all those masks.

 

Friendship is being vulnerable,

Accepting,

Seeking understanding,

And equality in relation.

 

It is humility, seeking the good in another.

Without agenda.

Unremodelled

Just as it was,

As it will be,

Perhaps.

 

The snapshot shows what growing up was like,

How things were,

And I zoom back in,

As if preparing breakfast was happening again,

Before school.

 

But its not schooltime,

I am not a child, (anymore)

Externally.

 

But at times wish I was.
