Drink a friend. You are not a vampire —
It is pleasant for him to give himself to you.
But remember, only so long
As he wants to play with you,

As he is still interesting to you.
So compulsion does not set you at odds,
So sly calculation does not creep in,
Warmed by someone.

Companionship is a gift of God,
A sunny glade in a dark forest,
A gap among solid clouds —
In a certain season and a certain place.
