Friends


I fear it's very wrong of me,
And yet I must admit,
When someone offers friendship
I want the whole of it.
I don't want everybody else
To share my friends with me.
At least, I want one special one,
Who indisputably,

Like me much more than all the rest,
Who's always on my side,
Who never cares what others say,
Who lets me come and hide
Within his shadow, in his house —
It doesn't matter where —
Who lets me simply be myself,
Who's always, always there.

    Everyone has acquaintances but not everyone truly has a best friend. Everyone needs that special person in his life. Acquaintances will tell you what you "want" to hear; but a real friend will tell you what you "need" to hear. Be a good friend to someone and someone will be a good friend to you.

    I love it. True friendship is unconditional, uncomplicated and uncomplaining, regardless of any differences there may be. We all need a special friend.

    very good

    simple but true
    we all want someone special to share our lives with
    someone i know had so many friends
    always told me, though,
    "don't be obligated to no one"
    she had a special way of being a friend
    lot like your work
    it's a lot like unconditional love
    to be an unconditional al friend
    i feel like that, too
    with friends we share both good and bad
    there comes a time when you have been thru so much with them
    and
    they are still there for you
    "how could they not still be your friend?"
