You don’t have to be like everyone you see.

In this world, there is a you and there is a me.

We may be different,

Yet are parts of the same whole.

Striving to find similarity in diversity is my goal.

You don’t have to be like me to sense how I feel,

We’ve both been through our share of struggles

And with time those wounds shall heal.

However, these very experiences have shaped you in becoming you,

And me becoming me.

I don’t see the rise of differences as a bone of contention,

Hence, I will not give it much attention.

For differences in perspective are bound to arise.

I do hope that irrespective of this our friendship will survive
