How do you weigh a person’s worth?

In memories?
Promises?
Devotion?

Their loyalty to you, even when there is no commitment?

How do you judge a person’s character?

By their responses to certain touchy situations?
Their choice of words?
Their noble actions?

By the quality of wisdom they exude?

How do you decide on a lover, best friend, confidant?

Keep tabs on who keeps your secrets?
Go down a checklist of approved re/actions?
Bitch & moan and see who’s left standing by your side in the end?

By someone else’s (society’s) definition?

Then you stop and ask yourself… Should you even try?
