Fight — Summary

Sam MRomantic

We don't really fight do we We get mad at each other But it never lasts more Than a few minutes We always forgive each other I need you That's my reason But I still don't know yours You stick around We have big fights Like earlier today And we have small fights Either way we know we'll be okay We're special Nothing about our friendship Is normal I'll stick with you If you stick with me I'm sorry about earlier It was stupid We always have our fights But we always make up We wouldn't be us if we didn't.

Sam M's "Fight" begins with a question that almost contradicts itself: "We don't really fight do we." Then the speaker admits they do get mad, but the anger never lasts more than a few minutes. The poem is about a close friendship that can handle arguments, and about the speaker trying to reassure both themselves and the friend.

The feeling underneath is a mix of affection and a little insecurity. "I need you / That's my reason / But I still don't know yours" is the most honest moment. The speaker is sure of their own loyalty but wonders why the friend stays. Soon after, there's a quiet apology: "I'm sorry about earlier. / It was stupid."

The mood is warm, relaxed and sincere. The short, plain lines sound like someone talking or texting a friend. The last line, "We wouldn't be us if we didn't," suggests that making up is part of what makes the friendship theirs.
