My Best Friend

by Tijjani Grema Mustapha
(Nigeria)

My one, but not only.
My friend, but not my love.
Love is painful,
that's why I chose the friendship path.
I can do without you, but you can't.
Your words are like venom.
They boost my vision.
I like you, but I don't love you.
You are and always will be the person.
My best friend ever.
