Lets Talk About Friendship

I have to say i can't stand when you criticize 
But i love it's constructiveness
I know you care and so you always dare
To say as it needs to be felt

Sometimes there are no unmbrellas on
Those rainy days
And words shoot here and there
And then there is that moment
A break, a space, a rest
And then we hug and talk and cry
And cry and talk until the tears run dry
Until the only words left are "forgive me"
"I love you" "thank you"

You always remind me "In your entire life, you can probably count your true friends on one hand. Maybe even on one finger. Those are the friends you need to cherish, and I wouldn't trade one of them for a hundred of the other kind. I'd rather be completely alone than with a bunch of people who aren't real. People who are just passing time." Sarah Ockler
