Drugstore 'Re-Post'

Friends are like drugstore
They provide:
The liquid to ease cough caused by handsomeness
The ointment to cover scars caused by scratching truth
The pills to ease irritation caused by lies
The band-aid to collect yourself up after shattered by love

Thanks friend for healing us up

It's really awesome when you have friends like this... one's that genuinely care about your well being. "Shattered by love"... that line was so sad, why should anyone be BROKEN by it? :( This was a very clever write Dinda... maybe someday I can be that bottle of soothing liquid on the shelf, for somebody else.
