My Friend

Passing through this void, two souls embrace Each opening itself to the other A spark ignited now fueled by understanding The bond formed pure Founded in trust Where time and space normally destroy They make this bond stronger Each soul expressing is weaknesses, becomes stronger Not a strength of force, but of compassion Truly the greatest thing shared between friends is that very friendship A unity not based on what each can offer But on emotional burden each can remove Each day they move through the world on their journey Trials and tribulations weaken each, but an unbreakable bond is already formed As each gets weak the bond strengthens the two Nether one ever truly alone Each judges the other but a guilty verdict is never rendered I have the greatest appreciation for you Not because you're my friend, built because you allow me to be yours Friendship grows itself by a continual sharing of that friendship Look at me as a mirror Reflecting your souls true beauty Talk to me as a recorder Sharing your hearts true song Write to me as your diary Telling the true story of your life When your down and it seems there is no where to turn Look inside yourself and know I'm there waiting to help you back on your way When all else has been compromised and false fails Know I'm here and our friendship prevails

Once again of course we can be friends. You know I quote Aristotle twice right now. "Making friends is quick work, but friendship is a slow ripening fruit." "A friend to all is a friend to none" Definitely two of my favorite quotes, which shows why you need friends, the same reason I do, because we don't have many that meet this criteria.
