The latest word
(I'm sure you've heard)
is that friendship's preferred.
Better to be a friend than a lover
because friends seldom leave or say good-bye.
Love is still there--
friends always care--
but those feelings don't die.
Some people love light, others are 'smothered';
romance can fizzle before candles fade.
Finance is tricky--
in marriages sticky--
friends shoulder the cascade.
Some people never stop looking to mate;
love does require some compromising.
Well meaning folks cause havoc--advising.
Love's always changing--
lives rearranging--
without your soul yielding.
