Relationships Are Like Croissants
Relationships are like croissants;
Don’t invest in people
who don’t appreciate the many layers;
You can give courtesy and respect
never let them go below the surface;
People may connect on different levels,
understanding this avoid’s an
unpleasant aftertaste;
You may be into emotional bloodletting,
is there ever a reason to give what
you’re not getting?
Try seeing if they’re there for you
if you have nothing they value;
Allowing someone into your soft core
is it really something you should do?
Are they worthy of more?
Peeling each one back
getting frail and vulnerable,
make sure they bring the same depth
to the table;
Invest in those people;
Relationships are a lot like croissants.
