i am a woman's woman
and a faithful friend.

i won't run off with your
man. i won't hate you
because you're beautiful.
i won't put you down.
i'll tell you there's
lipstick in your teeth.
i'll celebrate your
success as my own. i'll
fiercely defend you. i'll
laugh with you and cry
with you. i will tell you
hard truths in love. i'll
listen to your rants and
tell you the same stories
over and over again and
if i chose you, i'll love
you like a sister.
