speak

People ask me about my friends, why I talk so much of them. I love my friends, I love them so much. When someone has romantic love for another, it's normal to gush about them. Why can I not talk so about my friends that last longer than any ol' boyfriend?

I'm sorry if it bothers you when I speak of my friends, but you know a person by the company they keep and it's simply me giving you an invitation to get to know me better.

I love babies (oh Edison! I miss him!), and so I talk about baby this and baby that all the time.
I love cooking, and so I talk about this spice or that recipe.
I love my friends, and so I speak of them. I speak highly of the ones I really care for.

If a topic is often on my tongue, it usually means I have a great deal of care for it. Yes, even that one person. I wouldn't talk about it if I didn't still at least have a feeling of attachment to them.
