WHICH FRIEND ARE YOU -Poetry

 WHICH FRIEND ARE YOU?

Friends are categorized as ONE, TWO, THREE.

Which friend are you going to be?

ONE-

Is the friend you see now and then.

The friend that is called when there is no other friend.

More like an acquaintance is the friend in this spot.

This is the friend you don't think about a lot.

Sure you like them. They are okay.

But they aren't the first you call when you want to play.

Going months without contact, and you don't care.

Sometimes you even forget they are there.

TWO-

You see this friend more often than friend ONE.

This friend really knows how to have fun.

You might get together several times a week.

This friend is fun. They know how to freak.

Together you enjoy the companionship and the fun.

But you don't think about each other when the night is done.

On the surface, you keep the friendship relation.

Although you are friends, there is no solid foundation.

When you need help, this friend might not be around.

When you’re hurting, this friend might not be found.

Sometimes they are there and genuinely care.

But more often than not, there's not much substance there.

THREE-

To be a THREE is to have the greatest friend.

You'll be there for each other, to always defend.

The world and stars rotate around each other.

They are your soul mate, your spirit-sister or brother.

To have a THREE only happens a few times in life.

And to lose them feels like a cut from a knife.

To have a THREE, your attachment is stronger than glue.

In your life, you'll only have a few.

THREEs will never desert you or fling you aside.

THREEs will always be there by your side.

You share with a THREE your deepest feelings.

You tell them about your life's dealings.

You think about them by the minute and hour.

The bond with this friend carries its own power.

All friends are important. They fill a special spot.

Some you care for deeply, and others not.

You need friends. You want friends. But the levels do vary.

Some are short-lived, while others do tarry.

You might want to be surrounded by THREEs.

But most friendships are shallow, more like a breeze.

Or maybe your life does great with just TWOs.

And when surrounded by ONEs, you have nothing to lose.

Friends are categorized as ONE, TWO, THREE.
