A Truce

A Truce

Begrudgingly I am often reminded
Of the similarities between you and I.
I remind myself every time I think
Of our similar quirks.

A flair for the dramatic
the muddy brown eyes we hate
A love for the fantasy
In movie, makeup and television.

Our tendency to pout
Our tendency to fail
To stick to things we know the best
Our strive to be somebody

So a truce I shall call
with the one who had irked me so

A general respect of fellow women
Is often lost at the first sign of betrayal.

Start this over, I say.
We could have been friends
In another life
Had we met in a different way.

Matters of the heart
Always complicate things
And boys are the most complicated of all.
