She Revised

She sat alone on the stoop today,
Because her friends had gone away,
They went to be with each other now,
And she would have waited years for them,
But they cared more for their own company,
She thinks to herself ---
"One day I'll have friends
Who love me for my quietness. They'll see
The gold in my listening and when
I choose to speak."

And maybe she's right
