Friends

As I've grown older, I've realized even the best of friends find struggle.
There is going to be a day where you have to make amends.
And when you finally try and see eye-to-eye, don't let the same mess happen again. Be earnest, and clear, honest and true,
and tell them how much they mean to you.
Life is too short to break bones and not forgive.
Life is too short to say things you don't mean and 
never say the things you truly feel.
Be a true friend through thick and thin,
be supportive, giving, and also know how to take time for
yourself...
It matters to be surrounded by community but it also
matters to be cheerful to be surrounded by others.
A true friend isn't perfect, and you shouldn't expect them to be so,
because, after all...are you?
