Friends

Ah, life, indefinable concept, 
  The engine that roars, purrs or dies; 
Inspiring or damning or neutral, 
  Sincere or a tissue of lies. 

My friend, I must tell of emotions, 
  Crush adversity into the dirt; 
We should dance like there's nobody watching, 
  And love like it's not going to hurt. 

People say friends should hold hands 
  To show they eternally care; 
But real friends don't, they already know 
  The other hand always is there. 

I love you but we're not in love, 
  My soul mate who so comprehends; 
We need only be there for each other, 
  For such is the nature of friends.
