I kind of miss you
I miss
your smile
your laugh
But I do not miss
your speech
your presence
And I will never
miss how low
you made me feel
or
your pity
or
your tolerance of me
because
a friend doesn't compete
or simply tolerate
and a friend listens
and never pities
for sympathy is love
and pity condescends

and friends
do
not
condescend.
