How a Good Friendship Lasts
Share with me your mind, I want to hear it.
Spew forth your thoughts and feelings.
Describe to me your wildest dreams,
and get me clear on your biggest fears.
Don't underestimate the attentiveness of my listening ears.
Trust that you can tell me things that no one else will ever hear.
You can safely expect me to respect your truth.
And know the things I share with you will always be sincere.
Take me to your childhood, walk me around your inner world.
Impart the greatest lessons Life has taught you, new and old.
Entertain me with good memories, and recount the bad.
Relate the weirdest experiences that you've ever had.
Tell me of your darkness, and the ways you hurt yourself.
Divulge your deepest secrets and the patterns in your mental health.
Let me share the pain within your hidden vaults of shame.
I'll honour your openness and return the same.
We can help each other with the problems we perceive.
And review the different aspects of our personalities.
And taste the fruits of one another's creativity.
And debate and ruminate on the things we each believe.
Please elicit introspection, it can never go too deep.
No topic's off the table when the table's in front of me.
I'll do conversation 'til we've no choice but to sleep,
and I can swap ideas all night on what is reality..
Let's explore the Universe and see what we can find,
and dig deep into our philosophies on Time.
We can theorise about the meaning of Existence.
Our imagination is the treasure trove of our minds.
There are no limits to the places we can go.
You can ask me anything you'd really like to know.
I'll listen to you with an open mind and heart.
We'll get discourse down to an art.
Crack some jokes, we'll have a laugh.
Share your favourite stories of your past.
Talk all about your day today.
This is how a good friendship lasts.
