He's gone but he's everywhere.
In the passenger seat, in my bedroom walls, in the sheet music strewn over the floor and in songs he wrote; he's in my favorite books and in the
But most of all he's in my heart.

Tonight, I saw another blessing. How great is He to give me a friend this good and able to change, a living proof of His greatness. We are having a banter and conversation in one of our Group Chats and it amazes me how He truly works on us. Thank God! I am not the only one that is working on me. To my friends. To the people I cherish and know. To all.
Missing someone is always hard to imagine
The doubts in my mind always keep eating me
Does she not like me, does she not love me, am I not a good bestie
I wish I was with you when you went through your hard times
I wish I was with you all the times you shred tears
Holding you in my embrace and saying 'everything's okay '
Even though I'm physically not with you
I'm always there in your heart
So when you miss me
Fell your heartbeat
And think of the memorable moments we spent talking, playing and making fun
But remember I love you always and forever...
Don't worry I will never leave you, even for a man
best friend love is a completely different type of love that can't be expressed in words.
I'm sitting here
on the darkest night
when a poem comes
and says, "stay there",
and silence will be your friend.
Let's pretend
to know each other
even though
we never remember
faces like the people
we once loved.
I'll say this
and everything you hate
shut up.
You are victorious
over all solitude.
Indonesia, 17th December 2022
Arif Aditya Abyan Nugroho
;
when,
all fine people come around you,
its proofing,
that you are the fine one.
when,
all good people stay behind you,
its proofing,
that you are the best one.

Marisa Habibie
Just be the best version of yourself.
I don't believe in many things, I'm not one to have many hopes and dreams
We often don't see eye to eye
Me with my philosophy and you with your factual pride
But today I realised I have a soul mate
Because no matter how much we debate,
I know I would simply die for you
And I know that you would too.
You are a phenomenon for me
Because I've never been one for consistency
But the only fact I truly believe
Is that I need you with me constantly.
I may wander from place to place
I may forever live out my suitcase
But you know that I will always love you
And I know you will always love me too.
you were literally my soul mate in a friend
why did you have to do this
why did you have to treat me so bad
and I took that
because I thought you were my best friend
it hurts
it hurts
it hurts
and now you’re a poem
1) I can’t change the past
Nor do I want to
Every day is a new start
When spent with you
A beautiful journey
A road with no end
Is what life is, when
Lived with a real friend
Happy Birthday
2) I’ve spoken many lies
I’ve broken many promises
I’ve picked up many fights
I’ve given you bad memories
Yet, through this chaos
Backing me all the time
Even when you know I was wrong
What did I do to deserve
Such a loyal friend, I have no clue
But one thing’s for sure, my life
Is nothing without you
Happy birthday
3) There’ve been fights aplenty
There’ve been massive arguments
There’ve been times when we didn’t talk
There’ve been dark moments
From smiles to tears
From happiness to strife
Friendship isn’t an easy ride, but I
Wouldn’t trade it for anything else in life
xoxo
4) What I am today is not
My doing alone
There is another reason
For the way in which I’ve grown
How my life has shaped up
Owes itself to many things
One of them being you
A best friend, who’s given me wings
My life, is incomplete
Without your contribution
That’s my toast to you
On your birthday celebration
Happy birthday
Reddit, is the face of the internet
But you, make my life tick like clockwork
YouTube, is where stars of tomorrow are born
But you, are what makes my world go round
Happy birthday
6) Wishes made on birthdays
Always come true
That is why I wish
The very best for you
I hope that you achieve
Everything you seek
There should never be a moment
In your life, sad or bleak
I wish that you soar to new heights
And wade into uncharted territory
For you know well, that you can
Always fall back on me
Happy birthday
7) Our friendship, has no shape
It can’t be measured with a tape
Our friendship, flows like water
It adapts according to, situation and matter
Our friendship, tastes like cake
It is sweet, cute and never fake
Our friendship, feels genuine and true
Here’s wishing, a happy birthday to you
8) On your birthday, I want to make a promise
Any celebration of your life, I will never miss
I also want to let you know
During tough times, I will never ever let go
I also want to express
That I wish you nothing but success
And no matter where I am, come what may
I’ll always drop by, to say Happy Birthday
xoxo
9) Been through a lot in life
We have, together
Not a single regret I have
Not now, not never
Best Friends, meant to be
Is what we really are
Through good times and bad
You’re my life’s brightest star
Happy birthday
10) Best friends help each other shine
And listen to each other whine
Best friends help each other heal
And share all that they feel
Best friends have each other’s back
To keep each other’s lives on track
Best friends, are a pair in a million
In my life, you are the chosen on
Happy birthday
11) Whenever I felt down in the dumps
You reminded me of my worth
Of fun, happiness and smiles
You’ve never created a dearth
Whenever I felt that the world
Was weighing down upon me
You reminded me to laugh
And take things lightly
Whenever anything was wrong
You reminded of things that were right
No matter how dark a storm life throws
I can never have you, out of my sight
Happy birthday
12) With you by my side
A dark night becomes a bright dawn
Without you, even the best of days
Become boring and full of yawns
Your effect on my life
Is way too profound to describe
All I know is that best friends like us
Are a very rare tribe
Happy birthday
13) Nothing in life, nothing ever
Last forever
As bitter as it may sound
It’s a fact, that will change, never
I know, there will come a day
When our lives will drift apart
But no matter what, destiny will
Always give us a new start
Such is the indestructible faith
That I have in you, my friend
For eternity, together we will be
Even if time itself, comes to an end
Happy birthday
14) I love being your best friend
It is the easiest thing to do
I just have to be myself
And do all the cool stuff with you
Hanging out with you is awesome
It drives my worries away
May all your dreams come true
Is my wish on your birthday
15) One more birthday
One more reason
Yet another motive
One more occasion
One more sweet cause
Another special event
One more instance
Yet another special moment
To celebrate our friendship
And our togetherness
May the coming year
Bring you lots of happiness
Happy birthday
16) May we never fight
Regardless of wrong and right
May we never separate
Through quarrels or through fate
May we never play the blame game
Between best friends, that is too lame
May we always be together
Forever, supporting each other
These promises, we must make
To each other, before we cut the cake
So we can be best friends for life
Striding through bliss as well as strife
Happy birthday
Just watching the wind, making all the trees sway
A tranquil sunset, after a breezy afternoon
Weather, just right, to hum a lovely tune
Such amazing feelings, to my life, you bring
Deep within, my soul wants to dance and sing
Happy birthday
18) It was always in my destiny
To be your friend, not your enemy
Fate had already decided for us both
To like each other, never loathe
Best friends, we were meant to be
You are my life, can’t you see?
Happy birthday
19) Without you, my life
Would have been a bore
Not having anyone to share stuff with
Would have made me feel sore
Because of you
I look forward to each day
Hoping to hang out together
In the sun, aimlessly lay
In the true sense, you are
My best friend forever
I hope that life never keeps
Us apart from each other
xoxo
20) The reason behind my smile
Is not money or success
The reason behind my smile
Is not promotion or progress
The reason behind my smile
Is not a new car or a new dress
The real reason behind my smile
Is you, my bestie, I confess
Happy birthday
21) The meaning of friendship
The world thinks that it knows
But it’s only me and you
Who know the real highs and lows
Everyone thinks that being best friends
Is a matter of fun and games
What they don’t know is that it’s a mix
Of laughs, fights, smiles and blames
But I am proud that we have stood
The test of time and won
Without you as my best friend
My life would have come undone
Happy birthday
22) We are friends for a reason
We have lasted through every season
Through times good and bad
Whether we were happy and sad
Unshakeable, despite a rough past
The test of time, our friendship will last
I’ll always be there for you, I want you to know
No matter what, happiness will always flow
Happy birthday
23) Best friends like you
Are more precious than gold
Our bond is so strong
All kinds of troubles it can withhold
Wishing a happy birthday
To my bae, to my dearest friend
With this poem
Lots of love and hugs I send
24) I don’t believe that best friends never fight
I believe it is exactly, what they’re meant to do
I don’t believe that friendship is perfect
It’s always about, compromises to go through
I don’t believe in many such stereotypes
Or any such labels or cliché
All I know is that I am that true friend
By your side, who will always stay
Happy birthday
25) Best Friends Forever
Is the only way to describe us
We get along with each other
Without any problems or fuss
Our friendship is like time
It will never have an end
I wouldn’t have it any other way
Except have you as my best friend
Happy birthday
26) A friend brings light into life
A best friend brings a halo
A friend makes life shine
A best friend brings a glow
A friend brings fun and happiness
A best friend makes life worthy
I thank the Almighty
Happy birthday
27) Best friends like you
Are a treasure chest
In your company I can put
All my worries to rest
With you, nights turn into parties
And days turn into fun fests
Have an awesome birthday
For you, I wish the best
28) As my best friend
You are entitled to
An awesome gift
From me to you
As your best friend
I am entitled to
An awesome party
To me from you
xoxo
29) Everything under the sun
We have always talked about
For each other we have
Been there without a doubt
Everything under the roof
We both have gone through
You have been there with me
And I have supported you
No other anecdotes
To you I need to narrate
Our friendship in itself
Is a reason to celebrate
Happy birthday
30) It’s selfie time
Let’s look in the camera and say cheese
It’s party time
Let’s make some awesome memories
It’s celebration time
Let’s spend the night away
It’s that amazing time
When we celebrate your birthday
xoxo

Poems Written For Best Friends Forever
Best Friends
The title we chose
But what does it mean to be “best friends”?
You should see each other every day?
Well that's not true for you and me
Should silly little fights get in our way?
Only if that's how it's meant to be
Should we give?
Should we borrow?
Should we dance like there's not tomorrow?
Secrets are traded
Privacy invaded
Hugs and smiles are shared
Tears are shed
Love is spread
We know that we both really cared
I smile, you smile
You cry, I cry
I wish, you wish
You die, I die
If you fall
I'll help you up
And if you call
I'll always pick up
Best Friends Forever
The promise we made
And I know in my heart
That it will never fade
– Melissa Magaliff
No matter what sadness,
I want to overcome it with you.
No matter what race,
I want to run with you.
No matter how bad,
I want to work this out with you.
No matter what loss,
I want to hope with you.
No matter what consequences,
I want to stay with you.
No matter what fight,
I want to win with you.
No matter what dreams,
I want to share it with you.
No matter what happiness,
I want to smile with you.
No matter what the future brings,
I want to see it with you.
I wonder why it cannot be with anyone…but you.
-Frances Joy T. Chavez
When you close your eyes, I am with you.
When you sleep, I shall protect you.
When you are angry, I will be there to calm you.
When you are ill, I am there to care for you.
When your upset, I'll be there to comfort you.
When you weep, I shall dry your tears.
In the darkest of hours of the night,
when all your fears and doubts consume your mind,
all I ask of you is that your re-read this
as a reminder of how I love you
with all my heart, body and soul.
– Allyce Louise
We have something that holds us together,
Something that made us both better,
Something called being a friend.
It makes the fun never end,
And it helps me to know that when
I am down and blue,
Because you're my friend
I can count on you.
We run through life without a care.
Would anyone try to part us?
They wouldn't dare
And when the time comes for me to go,
I really want for you to know
That even though my life has come to an end
I will never stop being your friend.
Friends indeed,
Together we will succeed.
Our dreams will come true,
Forever me and you.
You are my sister, my best friend.
The bond we have will never end!
We will laugh and cry
And be filled with fear inside.
We will conquer our fears
And live our dreams.
-Stephanie
I prayed for you before we met…
Not knowing what you’d be,
I asked the Lord to send a friend.
One chosen just for me…
I asked that they’d be Godly
With wisdom of his ways.
A friend to help and guide me
In the troubles of these days…
So often in life, we need someone
To listen while we talk.
Someone who will not condemn or judge
But encourage us as we walk….
– Unknown
Fault of Others
What are another's faults to me?
I've not a vulture's bill,
To pick at every flaw I see,
And make it wider still.
It is enough for me to know
I've follies of my own;
And on my heart the care bestow,
And let my friends alone.
– Daniel C. Colesworthy
The very first time the two of us met,
We were caught in a friendship's net.
You are I, together gelled so damn well,
Every time I was in a fix I would ring your door bell,
As time passed and we grew closer and closer,
To the world outside, you gave me an easier exposure,
You made me understand what is right and wrong,
I have depended on your advice all my life along,
I will always be thankful for moments we shared,
They brought us closer to each other like butter and bread,
And those crazy things we did together,
Coz' they turned us into best friends forever!
-Unknown
Welcome My Friend
The world is filled
With all too few
Wonderful people
Like YOU!
My door is always open
You are always welcome here
Our friendship is golden
You, my friend, are so dear!
– Unknown
I see you, alone at your desk.
I think, she might be the best!
As I walk over, you look at me.
I smile goofy, you giggle at me.
I say aloha, and you say hello,
The bell rings, I don't want to go!
My teacher says recess, and we walk out together.
One month later, we're birds of a feather.
As a friend you're there, as a sister too.
Oh, where would I be if I didn't have you?
But then comes summer, but it's not a total bummer.
We have sleepovers and parties, just like friends do.
And then BACK TO SCHOOL!
I wonder, “Where are you?”
As I look at my new class,
My heart shatters like glass!
I don't see your name, and I'm about to cry
My heart starts to weep and my brain asks why.
You walk up behind me,
And I fall into your arms.
Even to this day, you and I remain apart.
But even though you're not with me,
I think that this is easy.
But just to let you know,
You keep my feet on the ground.
And you turn my world around!
– Jenna
11. Thy Friendship
Thy friendship like magic is nectar to me,
Distilled from the fountains of love;
May thy life a garden of beauty be.
In the beautiful land above.
-Eloise A. Skimings
How Blessed I Am
Don't think a day goes by
When I stop and realize
How blessed I am
To have a friend like you
I appreciate your kindness
Your listening ear
When I tell you of my fears
You listen, you hear.
Appreciation for another
Especially like you, no other
Thanks my friend for always being there
Appreciation I do share!
– Catherine Pulsifer
I AM HERE
If you need a laugh, I am here.
If you need a hug, I am here.
If you need a shoulder to cry on, I am here.
If you need someone to support you, I am here.
If you need to feel cared for, I am here.
If you need someone to listen, I am here.
If you need to hear that someone loves you, I am here.
If you need to feel wanted, I am here.
If you need to talk, I am here.
If you need a friend, I am here.
-Joseph Boris
You Remain
You remain my best,
In the midst of the storm.
You weren’t at your rest,
I can’t repay your deed,
To see me sail the storm.
That you are made of gold,
I can tell from all you did,
Procured to be the best,
That fill a friend’s thirst
-Unknown
God Bless Thee Friend
‘Tis sweet to feel friendship's warm glow,
When sorrow's tears from sad eyes flow;
When hearts with wounds are pierced by care
God bless thee friend, my earnest prayer.
– Eloise A. Skimings
For those whom pray for us when times are harsh.
To these we doth confide our dearest love;
To stand alone to know that we've a friend,
A soul whom lives for us, and better still,
A being whom we trust with all our heart
Whom leaves our space and plays a life alone:
This is the greatest gift for one to have…
-Marc-Alexandre Gagnon
Each other
If we knew each other better,
You and I and all the rest,
Seeing down beneath the surface
To the sorrows all unguessed,
We would quit our cold complaining
And a hand of trust extend,
If we knew each other better.
We would count each one a friend.
-Unknown
Poems about Deep Friendship
This next section is dedicated to deep friendships. Having a close relationship with someone is more important for you than you may expect. In fact, it can even affect your health! Science has proven that close personal relationships can lead to less anxiety and depression, better self-esteem, and can even strengthen your immune system! That's yet another amazing aspect of having a best friend. I've incorporated poems from the classics such as Robert Frost, to newly published ones. So take a look!
When a friend calls to me from the road
And slows his horse to a meaning walk,
I don’t stand still and look around
On all the hills I haven’t hoed,
And shout from where I am, What is it?
No, not as there is a time to talk.
I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground,
Blade-end up and five feet tall,
And plod: I go up to the stone wall
For a friendly visit.
-Robert Frost
How many people are truly blessed enough
to say there is someone they
can always turn to,
no matter what their troubles may be?
How many people are lucky
enough to know that
there is someone that will always be
there for them in their time of need?
The meaning of friendship can be defined
in the kindness you have shown me and
the compassion you
display each and every day.
-Unknown
I was angry with my friend;
I told my wrath, my wrath did end.
I was angry with my foe:
I told it not, my wrath did grow.
And I waterd it in fears,
Night & morning with my tears:
And I sunned it with smiles,
And with soft deceitful wiles.
And it grew both day and night.
Till it bore an apple bright.
And my foe beheld it shine,
And he knew that it was mine.
And into my garden stole,
When the night had veild the pole;
In the morning glad I see;
My foe outstretched beneath the tree.
-William Blake
We have been friends for not so long
We've learned to trust and shared a song
We used to laugh and used to cry
We've been together and learned to fly
Those sweet memories we both have shared
I will always treasure, I will always care
For all those moments we've been together
Are oh so precious, more precious than jasper
I wish no hardships and pains arrived
That blocks this feeling and forever deprived
For if I loose the inspiration you've shared
My heart in agony, forever will suffer
With all my heart, I do sincerely pray
That this precious friendship forever will stay
Deep in my soul, a vow I will offer
You'll always be my friend, from now until forever.
-Roberto C. Alico Jr.
A Friend is a Person –
Who will help you in the hour of sickness;
Who will lend you a dollar without deducting the interest;
Who will help you up hill when you are sliding down;
Who will defend you in the hour when others speak evil of you;
Who will believe in your innocence until you admit your guilt;
Who will say behind your back what he says to your face;
Who will shake hands with you wherever he meets you, even though you wear patches; and
Who will do all these things just because he likes you!
-Dorothy C. Retsloff
Alone(Excerpt)
Lying, thinking
Last night
How to find my soul a home
Where water is not thirsty
And bread loaf is not stone
I came up with one thing
And I don't believe I'm wrong
That nobody,
But nobody
Can make it out here alone.
-Maya Angelou
Remember me
When the days are long
You must stay strong
Remember me
Remember the times
Remember the rhymes
Friends, they stay together
But, changes like the weather
Remember me
Before I die
Remember me
But just don't cry
Remember the time we always shared
Just tell me you've always cared
Remember the times we always had together
And remember we will always be best friends forever
-Desiree N. Singleton
Comrade Four
Dear comrades, my comrades,
My heart is always true;
An’ ever an’ ever
I shall remember you.
We all joined together,
Together joined we four;
An’ I have been first to
Pass t’rough the open door.
-Claude McKay
I couldn't find the right words
Nothing seemed to rhyme
To write something for you all
I think it will take time
Because when you have friends
That are very hard to find,
There's so much to say
Because you make everything all right.
So I will tell you right now
Exactly what I need to say
To show you how much I appreciate
You being there every day.
You're worth more than anyone,
Even a million pounds
Because you always know what to say
When I am feeling down.
You make me smile big smiles
And my days so very bright,
And when I lose my way,
You find me in the night.
I sometimes wish I could explain
How much you mean to me,
But it's just not possible
To list a billion things.
So I just wanted to say
I love you so, so much,
And I hope you never leave me.
Promise to stay in touch.
– Louise
A Friendship So Dear
To me so dear is you my friend.
I hope and pray our friendship never ends.
As you are mine, and I am yours.
Our friendship has opened many doors.
Let's never fight, and always laugh,
We'll keep this friendship, under glass.
For if it breaks, then we'll know.
A friendship like ours, can take more than a throw.
-Julie Hebert
My Everything Friend
You magnify my happiness
When I am feeling glad;
You help to heal my injured heart
Whenever I am sad.
You’re such a pleasure in my life;
I hope that you can see
How meaningful your friendship is;
You’re a total joy to me.
-Joanna Fuchs
Tug O' War
I will not play at tug o’ war.
I’d rather play at hug o’ war,
Where everyone hugs
Instead of tugs,
Where everyone giggles
And rolls on the rug,
Where everyone kisses,
And everyone grins,
And everyone cuddles,
And everyone wins
-Shel Silverstein
Poems about Life Long Friends
The best part of Best Friends? They're for life! Your friendship will keep growing and blossoming with each new year, until you'll basically end up like the Golden Girls! I make it a point to write a poem to my Best Friend each year, after a while, you'll be able to look back and see just how deeper the friendship has gotten through time! So if you're in your teens, this is the perfect time to start. These kinds of things are invaluable!
Living Friendly
Life without the friendly greetin'
Of the folks I know so well,
Would be a lonely kind o' life,
Just an empty sort o' shell;
About all that I'm askin'
At the closin' of the day,
Is a chance to do my livin'
In a friendly sort o' way.
-Unknown
31. A Friend Is Someone
A friend is someone
we turn to when our spirits need a life.
A friend is someone
we treasure for our friendship is a gift.
A friend is someone
who fills our lives with beauty, joy, and grace
And makes the world
we live in a better and happier place.
-Unknown
For so long I held my heart so securely in place
Away from the world, in this cold, dark, lonely space
Then you came into my life, and I didn't know what to do
What my heart had so longingly missed, I now found in you
Letting you in my life was something I wasn't sure about
But the more time we spent together I was left without a doubt
Knowing that with each passing day, your love to me meant more
It filled a place inside my heart that had known only emptiness before
I didn't see how painful it must have been for you to love me, unconditionally
When I demanded so much of you, this perfect person you tried so hard to be
Even though it wasn't purposeful I know it hurt your heart to believe
That just one mistake, and I wouldn't hesitate to leave
How could you have known nothing was ever farther from being true
Your smile, the warmth of your heart, I could never bid adieu
As you held my heart you touched a part of my soul, and there your fingerprints still rest
Your whispers softly echo, with hopes of hearing them I quiet my very breath
Although where we're headed now is something yet unknown,
A part of me has left, and never again will I alone, my heart own
And how fortunate I must be, that at this journey's end
It has been, still is, and always will be, you I call best friend
-Leon E. Jenkins
We are friends.
I've got your back,
And you have mine.
I'll help you out
Anytime!
To see you hurt,
To see you cry,
Makes me weep
And wanna die.
If you agree
To never fight,
It wouldn't matter
Who's wrong or right.
If a broken heart
Needs a mend,
I'll be right there
Till the end.
If your cheeks are wet
From drops of tears,
Don't worry,
Let go of your fears.
Hand in hand
Love is sent.
We'll be friends
Till the end!
– Angelica N. Brissett
A Time To Talk
When a friend calls to me from the road
And slows his horse to a meaning walk,
I don’t stand still and look around
On all the hills I haven’t hoed,
And shout from where I am, What is it?
No, not as there is a time to talk.
I thrust my hoe in the mellow ground,
Blade-end up and five feet tall,
And plod: I go up to the stone wall
For a friendly visit.
-Robert Frost
When you feel like the world
has turned its back on you,
there's always one person
who loves you for you.
Your angel, your life, your love,
your rose.
The rose of your life,
is the one that knows
Everything about you.
They won't give it away.
The rose of your life,
the one that will always stay.
Your rose is your friend,
the one you'll never let go.
Your gift from God,
something you'll always know.
Your rose will help you
through all your hard times.
They make you feel better.
Then you hear the angel chimes.
-Kasandra D.
How Many? How Much?
How many slams in an old screen door?
Depends how loud you shut it.
How many slices in a bread?
Depends how thin you cut it.
How much good inside a day?
Depends how good you live ’em.
How much love inside a friend?
Depends how much you give ’em.
– Shel Silverstein
Friend
A friend in a person
to laugh and cry with,
An inspiration,
Someone who lends a helping hand,
though friends may not be forever,
And they may not end up together,
the memories of a true friendship will
last forever.
A friend is not a shadow nor a servant
But someone who hold
a piece of a person in his heart.
Someone who shares a smile,
Someone who brightens up your day
What makes a person a friend?
Is by saying your Love will stay.
-Renee Donna Bufete
Your Kind Of Friendship
It takes more than caring
To be a real friend;
The nature of friendship;
Requires a blend
Of warmest compassion
And love deep and true
To reach and to comfort
The way that you do.
Because I can see
That your kind of friendship
Is priceless to me.
-Unknown
Marry your best friend.
I do not say that lightly.
Really, truly find the strongest,
Happiest friendship
In the person you fall in love with.
Someone who speaks highly of you.
Someone you can laugh with.
The kind of laughs that make
Your belly ache, and your nose snort.
The embarrassing, earnest, healing kind of laughs.
Wit is important.
Life is too short not to love someone
Who lets you be a fool with them.
Make sure they are somebody
Who lets you cry, too.
Despair will come.
Find someone that you want
To be there with you
Through those times.
Most importantly,
Marry the one that makes passion,
Love, and madness combine
And course through you.
A love that will never dilute –
Even when the waters get deep, and dark.
-Unknown
40. Friends To The End
To the ends of time I will love you my friend.
A friendship like ours has no definite end.
You raise my spirits with ways I can’t find
Always lifting me up and ever so kind.
I’m blessed and thank you so lucky am I
My friend you are treasured till the day that I die. MY SPECIAL FRIEND
-Unknown
You and I are good friends
On that we both agree.
It means that I am here for you
And you are there for me.
We know each other's secrets
We share our dreams and hopes
We help each other stay upright
Along life's slippery slopes.
We might not speak for days or weeks…
Perhaps a month will pass
But each knows that the other
will be there to the last.
So, know – my friend, I love you.
This message makes it clear.
Good friends are forever.
-Unknown
42. Lucky To Have You My Friend
How lucky I am to find a friend
someone tried and true
You’re always there
you always care
and I’m just thanking you.
-Unknown
Breaking down huge barriers like we're breaking
Eggs over a fry pan.
Songs playing in the background,
Talking about nothing and everything.
Friends forever.
Rest assured, no matter what,
I will always find time to talk to you or to
Nothing but my day.
Distance can't separate us.
-Anilise B. Gulwell
