Mess with my girlies and you mess with me, hurt them and then you'll see, I'll make your life a living hell because I'd give my life for them and take yours as well!

When it comes to love, you don't get to choose, you just fall; When it comes to friends, you don't go out and search, it's whoever is there to catch you.

"When your life falls apart, always remember that I will be the one who will stay to help you pick the pieces up. And when the rest of the world walks out on you, remember not to close the door, because I am the one who will be walking in to help you through it all."

*Keep your eyes upon me, keep me in your sight, help me don the crooked road, lead me to the light. The road I'm on is dark, I'm not sure if I know the way, yet with you right beside me, I'm certain I won't stray. Protect me from the world, I know we'll make it through, give me all the strength I need..... Let me lean on you* (poem from YM Magazine)

~My friend, my companion, through good times and bad. My friend, my buddy, through happy and sad. Beside me you stand, beside me you walk, you're there to listen, you're there to talk. With happiness, with smiles, with pain and tears, I know you'll be there throughout all the years!~

And so it comes just as it is, a day no longer here.
And through my trembling fingertips, the memories of the year...
I try not to wave farewell to all our dreams, I will forget you never,
I wonder if the crazy times will stay with you forever...
But as I cry in pain of losing you, my dear and such good friend,
I will not close the book and say ' farewell, this is the end'...
For goodbyes create swift hellos, and days from now you'll see,
That though it hurts to say goodbye, your friend I'll always be.

"Friendship brought us together, laughter got us through, life will take us our own ways, and love will make our dreams come true."

"A true friend will see you through when others see that you
are through."
--Laurence J. Peter

"Every now and then, we find a special friend who never lets us down, who understands it all, reaches out each time we fall. You're the best that I have found. I know that you can't stay, but part of you will never ever go away. Your heart will stay. I'll make a wish for you and hope it will come true, that life will be kind to such a gentle mind, and if you lose your way, think back on yesterday, remember me this way." - Casper

"There are places I remember all my life, though some have changed, some forever, not for better some have gone but some remain. All these places have their moments, where lovers and friends I still can recall, some are dead and some are living, in my life I loved them all."-For the Boys

*Friendship is usually treated by the majority of mankind as a tough and everlasting thing which will survive all manner of bad treatment. but this is an exceedingly great and foolish error, it may die in an hour of a single unwise word...* ~mary louise de la ramee

"...and for all the times we're apart, remember these words are from my heart: keep smiling, keep shining, knowing you can always count on me, for sure, that's what friends are for."

"Times were tough, but the memories remain, situations rough, but we overcame, side by side, together we grew and when it's all said and done, I'll look back on friends like you."

"Let's become little old ladies together-we'll stay up late looking at old pictures, telling 'remember when' stories, and laughing till our sides ache. Let's become eccentric together-the kind of old ladies who take long walks, wear silly hats, and get away with acting outrageous in public places. And if anybody should ask how long we've been friends, we'll say, "Oh, forever -- since before you were even born!" Let's become little old ladies together-because a friendship that's as special as ours can only grow better through the years."

~*~They say true friends stab each other in the front.,., but then again why would a friend stab you at all?~*~

These people pick me up when I am sad. They make me laugh when I am mad. They make me see what I did wrong BEFORE I screw it up. They laugh at my jokes...even when I don't make any. These people are strong for me when I can't be. They are there to build me up when somebody knocks me down & to then kick their ass for me. These people are angels sent to me from above to give me their love. These are little gifts from God, which I like to refer to as my friends. ~Nikki Hanczyc

There to the end, and then some. That's what I am to them & that's what they are to me. Together we'll always be. Speakin' for me when I can't talk. Seein' for me when I can't see. Walkin' for me when I can't walk. Bein' for me when I can't be. There to the end, and then some. That's what I am to them & that's what they are to me. Together we'll always be. -Nikki

If the stars no longer shined, I'd still be on your side. When you feel like the whole world is letting you down, just give me a call, and I'll be around. If you need advice at, like, 2 in the morning, I'd be there at the very first ring. When you think you'll fall, I'll be there to stand you up tall. If the heavens burst with falling stars, I'd catch one for you and put it in a jar if you were out of town. When I need you to be here for me too, I can only hope you'd do the same Foo' ! ~Nikki Hanczyc

If you died tomorrow, I'd be the first person to miss you. If you cried over a boyfriend, I'd be the first person to call & make it better. If you needed a buck, I'd be the first one to lend it; in fact, I'd give you 2. If you needed anything, I'd be the first person to give it to you. If I asked you to do for me what I'd do for you, would you? -Nikki

I don't know how, I don't know when you and I will meet again. When were least expecting it, one day in some far off place, I will recognize your face. I won't say goodbye my friend, for you and I will meet again. -Tom Petty

A friend is someone who understands silences as well as words, one who lifts you up and never lets you down, who makes you feel it's a pretty nice old world after all.

A friend is someone, who knows you, that can accept you for who you are, the way u act, and the way you look at life!~MerDiBabe

~I've loved you since I first saw you, since then I knew you were the one that I want to be with for the rest of my life, but just because you are my best friend doesn't mean you can't be my best friend in love~MerDiBabe

Everyone has a best friend during each stage of life. Only a precious few have the same one. ~Unknown

Friends forever, you & me
Friends forever we will be
Friends forever til the end
We'll always be the best of friends ~Shannon

"When you're with someone you trust in, never needing to pretend, someone who helps you know yourself, you know you're with a friend."

In your life you'll have lots of friends and when you're all grown up you'll remember only a few...I can guarantee that with the way people are nowadays you will remember more back stabbing ones then good ones :' (

"True friends are never forgotten, they live within our hearts and souls ... forever, and always, dancing on our stage of memories."

"You always hear me when I'm calling, even catch me when I'm falling; You're the closest ones to me, and I want the whole wide world to see that we've always been and we'll always be best friends."

**Some people say a true friend stabs you in the front not in the back.. but why would a true friend stab you at all?**

Buds before broads

Chicks before dicks

"When you're weary, feeling small; when tears are in your eyes, I'll dry them all." ~Simon & Garfunkel

"The worst thing in life is to lose a friend, a friend that means the world to you, a friend that you put all your trust and faith in, a friend that you believed in from the start, a friend that took the center of your heart, a friend that you'd die for, a friend that you wanted to cherish for a lifetime, a friend, a good friend, a best friend."

When it hurts to look back, and you're scared to look ahead, you can look beside you and your best friend will be there.

"To all my friends I love you so ... you give me all the strength to grow ... a true friendship will never die unless it is all a lie."

Tonight, while I was doing my homework, I thought of you, just right out of the blue, for no particular reason; I just did. And I realized that at that very moment, all I wanted to do was tell you how much I love you...but I can't. It would be breaking the rules of friendship because we're friends and that's all we'll ever be. Unknown

you always were a special friend, you knew that, I knew that. only I knew something more; I knew that I loved you for so long, you can't complain because you can't find the "right girl". I guess friendship makes you blind to see what's standing right in front of you.

"Look for someone who is a best friend more than someone you're in love with, because when you're old, graying, wrinkled and all, it's the friendship that endures more than the passion and being loved."

"It's hard to love someone who's in love with someone else, you have to ignore the pain and swallow your pride just to be a friend...but that's all worth it because sometimes friendship lasts longer than love."

A shoulder to lean on
A hand to hold
A friend like you
Is as precious as gold
You make me smile
Whenever I'm sad
you're the sweetest friend I've EVER had!

Sometimes, no matter how much you do, or how much you try, someone will not understand how much you've done until you're gone and they have no one left who actually cares about them, who can look out for them, and who will understand.

I had faith in you...I believed with all my heart that you were a special friend...a true friend, I thought you were different...but in the end, I was let down to realize you're just the same as everyone else. You only care about yourself.

You can try your hardest, you can do everything and say everything... but
sometimes people just aren't worth trying over anymore...they aren't worth
worrying about...it's important to know when to let go of someone who only
brings you down.

A true friend is the person who is there to pick you up when you fall, or to carry you, when you can no longer walk - Marc (bigsweety55@hotmail.com)

It's hard to believe that you've moved away, All our memories we shared, and the great passion for each other, I will remember you always, forever you'll be my best friend. ~Jennifer Pazzie

"I've been hurt, I've been hurt so bad but for some wonderful reason when I'm with all my friends...all that hurt goes away..."
-Allison Mosher

"It doesn't matter where you go or what you have, but who you have beside you."

You only meet a once-in-a-life-time friend, once in a life time. ~Sammy
