"When we honestly ask ourselves
Which person in our lives mean the most to us
We often find that it is those who
Instead of giving advice, solutions, or cures,
Have chosen rather to share our pain and touch our wounds
with a warm and tender hand
The friend who can be silent with us
in a moment of despair or confusion
who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement
who can tolerate not knowing, not curing,
not healing and face with us the reality of our powerlessness
That is a friend who really cares"
"We are not enemies, but friends
We must not be enemies though passion may have strained
It must not break our bonds of affection
The mystic cords of memory will swell when again
touched as surely they will be by the better angels of our nature"
"Yes we are friends and I do like to pass
the day with you in serious and inconsequential chatter
I wouldn't mind washing up beside you
dusting beside you, reading the back half of the paper
while you read the front
We are friends and I would miss you,
do miss you and think of you very often
I don't want to lose this happy space where
I have found someone who is smart and easy and
doesn't bother to check her diary when we arrange to meet!"
"Many a person has held close
Throughout their entire lives
Two friends that always remained strange to one another
Because one of them attracted by virtue of similarity
the other is by difference"
"A friend is a person with whom I may be sincere
Before him I may think aloud
I am arrived at last in the presence of a man
so real and equal that I may drop even those undermost
garments of dissimulation, courtesy, and second thought!
Which men never put off, and may deal with him
with the simplicity and wholeness
with which one chemical atom meets"
"A Million Words Would Not Bring You Back
I Know Because I Tried
Neither Would A Million Tears I Know Because i Cried"
"I turned my back to our friendship
I cant pretend it didn’t happen
But I can promise you it will never happen again
Cause that was too close to loosing you"
