This poem pokes at a conundrum for me. What if your favorite, deepest kind of love is the kind you have for friends? And then why do we all change our lives for the romantic kind? And forsake our deepest loves for that?
Indeed.
PS - I love that Lilly Dancyger wrote a book about this very thing - First Love: Essays on Friendship.
Love this, Danna!
