JUNCIPOP

This poem is about ex-lovers where one has already moved on and found new happiness; while the other is still attached to the same feelings. To fill the loneliness and longing for the ex, Facebook is used to "stalk" and try to hide the real feelings thru the question "Can we still be friends?"

 

Can we still be friends?

Can I still post a comment,

And throw you the sweetest compliment?

Can we still be friends?

Can I still view your profile?

'Cause I haven't seen you in while.

Can we still be friends?

Can I still grab your photos,

And click play and watch your videos?

Can we still be friends?

Can I still make your name tagged,

And use as album title as ragged?

Can we still be friends?

Can I still give you a poke?

I'm online now and it's not a joke.

Can we still be friends?

Can I send you a message,

Before I eat up my breakfast sausage?

It has been a week.

You've snub the invitation.

Please check out the notification.

Okay, I give up.

You do not want to connect.

Your privacy you wanna protect.

I won't post comments

Oh, if that would be your call.

I won't fill in on your wall.

Okay, I would not.

Yeah, I won't view your profile,

Or even save it as a web file.

Okay, I would not.

I won't grab a single photo.

That would be my number one motto.

Okay, I give up.

I would not tag your name.

So you would not put to me the blame.

I would not poke you,

Or even message to send.

But please say I can still be your friend.

CAN WE STILL BE FRIENDS?
