i was afraid you would laugh
or walk away
if i asked to be your friend
those were the days
before texting on a cell
or going on facebook
and asking to be a friend
back then i
missed chances to
to fall in love
or just have a friend
because i was afraid
to say the words
on the phone or
in person . . . those words,
can i be your friend?
it’s easier now
with texting
no one has to
have their feelings
hurt
and if someone says no
to a friend request
just simply look at
other photos
and send more friend requests
