Five Line Poem

I can’t be your friend
unless you are my friend too
but
you don’t have to love me
for me to love you.

Well phrased. A maxim for us all to follow and live by. Glad you took up challenge to say it in 5 lines. An example for all new poets to consider is a challenge of this sort which sharpens their skills in getting the main parts of their topic or their message if you will organised. best regards David in NZ
