The gift never comes without sacrifice
there’s always an exchange
if only symbolic or metaphoric.
We tear the wrapping-
destroy the pretty paper, the ribbons and the bows.
We must give up one for the other.
oh sure, the gift is free but to take it you must pay it’s ransom.
What you pay is not to the giver, but of yourself.

The gift of friendship the exchange is always even I think, one gift one does not have to payback but accept.
