The Good Friend

I’m the good friend 

The one who asks you if your day went well 

The one who sends you off with a “drive safe” 

The one who would tell you if you had something in your teeth 

And when you seemed sad would be there so you can talk about it 

But the thing is 

Good friends like me also have feelings 

We want to be asked the stuff we ask others

We care because we know people need the extra support yet we never receive it 

We want what we give so we give a lot of it 

Even after caring we don’t get a return 

We remain on the same platform not allowing the healthy exchange of relationships to come and go by asking 

A simple question makes a good friend’s day
