I’m not an unfriendly person.
If you met me in person you’d see.
I extremely friendly, for certain.
Just prefer to be a mystery.
To be a friend, one wouldn’t ignore.
One certainly wouldn’t disregard.
Friendship can be a lot of work.
Being a true friend can be really hard.
You see, I have many demands.
From my family, to whom I’ve pledged.
I’m a person with only two hands.
For now requests, unacknowledged.
I don’t mean to intentionally neglect.
I prefer to remain to myself.
I can render to you my respect.
Time for friending, for now on the shelf.
So, I thank you all once again.
Please respect my anonymity.
I can still be your virtual friend.
On this site, in our proximity.
So, truly I won’t ever forget.
The hands that you’ve extended.
I apologize if I’ve made you upset.
Your friend without being friended.

There is a lot of truth in what you convey. I find myself beating myself up for not having called or stopped by to visit but when you look closely if you did so you may be neglecting your family, job, etc. Nicely done.
Thanks Augustus. I appreciate your insight. I do not have FaceBook or any other social media account. I know people whom are controlled by social media. I believe in respecting people's privacy. And, I do not take it personally if I have not heard from someone for some time. I understand everyone has their priorities. For this site, I can freely write, which is something I will set aside time as it is rewarding for me. I will get off my soap box for now....)
