Unexpected Ally

“I’m not looking for a friend,” he said solemnly.
He’s not sad, he’s not lonely.
Then one day they strike up a conversation, 
They’ve got a lot in common, age, mindset and situation.
She’s really kind and empathetic to boot.
She’s not like the others, a rare, strange fruit.
“I wasn’t looking for a friend,” the boy says slyly,
“But I found an unexpected ally.”
