Friends

We talked yesterday

I was more open with you 

Than I have been in months

I said I wanted to be friends

But wasn't sure if that's what you wanted 

I said I wasn't going to force you

To do something

You didn't want to do

You wanted me to accept your friendship

You asked "Are you going to be happy 

Or not?"

I said I'm learning

To be happy on my own

To not let my happiness depend on others

I'd love to be your friend

You are an amazing person

Who I want in my life

But not by force

It all used to be so easy

Like water flowing down a river

But now that water is a square

And the river a circle that the square 

Cannot fit through no matter how you push

It was so much easier when we weren't broken

Before we broke each other

But I started fixing myself

While you got worse

And now I will fix us both

As I've done many times

And will keep doing

Until we are both repaired

Because we are friends

And that's what friends are for
