You Wont Be The Only One Doing It Poem by Lawrence S. Pertillar

You remind me,
Of a friend...
I have never had,
Ever before!

'I'm glad.
That's good to hear.'

That's a relief.
I thought you would be offended,
If I to you admitted this.
There is 'something' about you,
I can not quite put my finger on.

'Why would I be offended? '

Well...
It feels as if I am being punished,
For some reason.
And I pray for answers to come,
To help me understand what it is I've done.

'I know you are joking? '

Yeah!
You have no idea,
How big of a joke I feel this is.
Feel free to laugh anytime you want to.
You wont be the only one doing it,
I'm sure!

'Why are you upset,
That I tell everyone...
What you tell me?
Isn't that what friends are for? '
