Friendship

To be a friend is not a play
You have to care every day, 
And not be able to hold on 
When they just scream for you inside.

I wanna have a friend of mine
Who like myself would tell no lie 
And be the one who breaks the ice,
Just be around until I die.

But it's so hard to freaking find
A real friend who's gonna say
That you in love with number one, 
The one you never gonna dump.

I know it's not what I demand
But I would like to be apart, 
From friends like haters in the fight,
To find a better place to stop.

Alex: "Make new friends but keep the old, one is silver and the other gold." I've heard that since early childhood but like you, good friends are hard to find. Keep looking and keep writing. Thanks for sharing with all of us on the soup. oldbuck
