a moment
all the emotions
and thoughts come together
a dawning realization
looking at a yellow rose
a gift from a boy
a boy not liked
obsessed with the one
who will even
talk to him
a gift not wanted
unappreciated
thinking, sorting
trying to make sense
confused what to do
and a thought hits.
he accepts all that's there
the faults and imperfections
the things that make others
turn away
no requirement to
go out or
be a couple
only to be a friend
no shame in this
no embarrassment
in being a friend
in being his friend.
