Love Your Friends

they chose the version of you you think people hate

By HufflecupPublished 2 years ago 1 min read

true friendship is the best love there is

it is certainly the purest

it is not forced

it is not a competition

there is never judgment

it burns the brightest and lasts the longest

there is commonality

unwavering support

a desire to seek each other out

being together is the simplest contentment

they are the only ones that see the real you

and they choose to love that you

because you love them right back

family traumatizes you and calls it love

partners scar you and move on to the next

friends hurt you the most

but they try to fix it

try to forge a stronger bond from it

maybe that's just me

my family and love life are rough
