Never forgetting commitments,
by being further committed,
I had a dream.
That hearts would intertwine,
minds would interlock,
and the twain
would understand the one.
"Friend?" I cried.
"Here I am", she lied.
For my arms were empty
And she said nothing aplenty.

How can you ask for love,
yet don't want to be touched?
Why should I be brought so near?
Yet my presence fear?
I feel no guilt!
For your walls are vainly built.
"Friend?"  I cried.
"Coming", she lied.
Her being covertly searching for liberty;
And I, suffering from her scarcity.

Friendship I did seek.
Needed an external source.
I do cherish my beliefs.
Just need to share a mutual thirst.
She might be physically close;
But she'll never be my own.
"Friend!" I cried.
No response.
"Friend?"
"Friend...............!?"
"FRIEND !?!?1?!"
'She's gone with another',
said her mother.
