Friends

They know better, I know less
So I’m fortunate enough
Not to delve into that mess
PMs, politics and stuff
Show up anytime you can  
Dear faithful friends of mine
Tell me of your best laid plans 
Speak about your latest finds  
If my glass is full, I’d listen
If it’s empty, I may say
Please excuse me for no reason
We’re not friends, at least today..

Sometimes friends are great to be around but sometimes we need space.

Exactly! And sometimes the distance enhances, without any reason, and sometimes it disappears..
