Friendship : Over Love

Amorous feelings are overrated.
As if they are ”all or nothing” for some.
Why must your love interest be your lover?
Why can”t you try to be good friends?

Why can”t you just be buddies
especially if you already were?
Why can”t you settle for anything less
than being someone”s ”exclusive” one?

Why must there be bitterness when rejected?
Why can”t there be more understanding instead?
Why must there be tension thereafter?
Why not be more open now that it”s ”over”?

You know your love is too worldly
when it easily toggles to become hate,
when failure to be attached leads to aversion,
when your beloved one becomes your loathed one.
