My Friend Said Something...

My friend said something today.

Struck me dumb. My only choice to laugh it off, make jokes.

Possibly be passive-aggressive... 

We were talking... I asked if she liked a Friends-to-lover's couple

(Her favorite trope)

Her Answer (paraphrased): "Oh, uh... I only like straight friends-to-lovers..."

It struck me dumb.

What's the difference?

Love is love, isn't it?

Why can't she like all friends-to-lovers?

Why must they be straight?

What is with this?

This world, striking me dumb.

My friend said something, and she didn't think.

    In Summer, the Willow cries with joy, enjoying the sun.
