And I wonder - who is a friend,
and what friendship is!
And who must be called a friend?

Because in the end,
you still hide,
you have so much inside

left unseen, unattended.

They say - all must be heard &  all must be said.
But this truism
of sharing with a friend,

has come out of fiction.

This ever-growing burden,
is too personal to give away.
They save theirs, we save ours,

and we maintain fictional friendships- this way!
