Friends With Benefits

Friends With Benefits

I doubt you will believe me,

but I swear

that b***h death,

is swiftly catching up on me ..

And so, if we are not

still strangers by this time

tomorrow ..

Then might I respectfully

suggest, we may

just as well become lovers ..

Or indeed,

at least friends, with benefits ..

Although the poem itself is, you know, decent and more and all, but may I say that it struck me with a sudden chord of sadness, as this wasn't something I had expected to read and it caught me by surprise. I'd like to think that first line is a metaphor for something other than what it sounds like to me, or maybe it's just my dramatic perception to hear it that way. In any case, I would like to impart my love and highest quality of wishes to you, sir. May we keep interacting as some type of friends, nothing less, in some way or the other.. Namaste
