Friendship ke?
<p>Ebuka laughs at what I just said,</p><p>and I look at him, perplexed as to what is actually funny.</p><p><br/></p><p>Then he stops laughing and says,</p><p>“You? You, Dasa. You don’t have friends ke?”</p><p><br/></p><p>I look at him with a glare, but then I couldn’t blame him.</p><p>I have painted a crowd around me.</p><p><br/></p><p>People look once and look away and think to themselves,</p><p>“Omg, Dasa has so many friends.”</p><p><br/></p><p>So then I ask the question:</p><p>What is friendship?</p><p><br/></p><p>Companionship?</p><p>People who make you laugh?</p><p><br/></p><p>Okay, so the internet says friendship is a relationship between people who choose each other—not because they have to, but because they care, trust, and enjoy being together.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Choose each other.”</p><p>So logically, in order for it to work, we have to choose each other.</p><p>Who is choosing who?</p><p>It has to be mutual, right?</p><p><br/></p><p>So… who is choosing me?</p><p><br/></p><p>I’m looking around,</p><p>and there is not a single soul that has chosen me.</p><p><br/></p><p>It’s either they leave me for other people, or I’m the next best thing when they need my help.</p><p>So sure, they choose me—but as their second option,</p><p>when everyone else is not available.</p><p><br/></p><p>Maybe I’m being dramatic.</p><p>I’m sure it’s not that “deep.”</p><p><br/></p><p>But what if it is?</p><p><br/></p><p>Why do people put so much effort into romantic love and not the platonic ones?</p><p>The ones that you will need when shit goes left.</p><p>The ones that you’d tell your secrets to.</p><p>The ones who you will laugh and plan hangouts with.</p><p><br/></p><p>Why does no one take those relationships seriously?</p><p><br/></p><p>Why am I the only one choosing to take everyone seriously?</p><p><br/></p><p>Or maybe I’m stuck in my feelings and can’t get out of it.</p><p>Maybe I’m being delusional.</p><p>Too emotional.</p><p>Overthinking.</p><p>Overly mature.</p><p><br/></p><p>But when your boyfriend or girlfriend pisses you off,</p><p>you will look for that bond and that peace.</p><p><br/></p><p>And I won’t turn away.</p><p>I’d welcome you,</p><p>and let you stay—</p><p>knowing you’d leave again… very soon.</p><p><br/></p><p>I look at Ebuka; this time, I smile sadly.</p><p><br/></p><p>“Friendship ke? I no Dey that kain thing.”</p>
