People today, in all this new world technology and thinking, have lost sight of what a true friendship is. So, in sprit of my best friend Tellie, I thought I would help the world out a little and explain what real, true friends are.
1. Friends don't have to be exactly the same. Friends have similarities but they also have their differences. They key to opening up the world of friendship is not only to expand on similarities but to accept each other's faults. Because you can't ever judge your friend.
2. Friends have to argue! No one likes to but it is necessary to be healthy. Cause if you agree on everything, either the government has expanded cloning subjects or someone isn't being true and is trying a little too hard.
3. You have to be comfortable together or else you just aren't going to click. If you feel edgy around the person then something isn't quite right.
4. Friends love unconditionally. They have there little angry moments but what's done is done and all is forgive and forget. Why let something that happened in the past ruin what happiness you could have in the future?
5. Believe in love at first sight because there is the equivalent in friendship. Some people think that you have to know someone really well to become good friends. Trust me, it's not true. If the first time you really spend time together you talk for 25 hours straight until 4:30 in the morning about some topic you thought no one else in the world understood, hun, that's real love at first sight.
These are only a few of the basics. Just remember, friends are forever. But only if you keep it that way. Don't diss your buds, love them instead. And when they drive you nuts, love them that much more for being just a little bit different and maybe just a little bit quirky!

THERE IS THAT FRIEND
© Anon
There is that friend
that is so much a part of you, that you feel alone just thinking about the thought of her not being there.
There is that friendship
that has so much that it is based on that nothing could ever dissolve or even threaten it.
There is that friend
with whom you share so much history that one fight or misunderstanding rolls off nearly instantaneously,
because one issue is so insignificant, and could never come close to shattering the bond.
There is that friendship
that cannot always be explained, but only understood and cherished by the two people that share it.
There is that friend
that mean so much to you, that you honestly believe you would stop studying for a final exam, break a date with your crush of five years, or risk being grounded just so you could be there to lend a shoulder to cry on, offer a hug, or spend three hours just sitting with her if that would make it at all better.
There is that friendship
that has lasted through ten years of your life, and is still growing.
There is that friend
who you can talk to about something that happened when you were eight years old, and she can relive that moment so vividly along with you..
There is that friend
that knows you as well as you know yourself, and finds it special that you know her just as well.
There is that friend
who can make you smile through your tears, or cry out of happiness.
There is that friend
who is always there for you, and just realizing that she would be there is more than enough to make it better.
There is that friend
who cares about clearing away your tears no less if you are crying over absolutely nothing or over something she may have done to hurt you.
I have one friend like that, and it is that friend that will always occupy a precious part of my heart.

I HAVE A FRIEND

I have a friend
Who is perfect for me
She listens to all my problems
No matter how dumb they may be
She likes herself for who she is
And never tries to change
She tells me to be myself
And that I should never change
She was shy on the phone
But she would still call
And we would talk for hours
About nothing at all
We would talk about love and life
And discuss what we wanted to be
She knew just how I felt
And how happy I could be
She listens to me patiently
But never judges what I do or say
She helped with all my problems
And never went away
I never once felt judged by her
How much that meant to me
That I could tell her all my dreams
And she would listen to me
My friend never goes and tells
What is dear to me
She keeps it all bottled up inside
And doesn't spread it like a bee
I am thankful for that friend of mine
Our friendship will never end
And she will always be there
For she is my best friend
I have a friend
Who is perfect for me
She listens to all my problems
No matter how dumb they may be

"YOU WERE THERE FOR ME"
© Erin Porter
Words escape me
at this moment
that seems like the end
yet it is only the beginning
when friendships are close
and dreams are far
you were there for me.
Tears fill me
with memories of both good and bad
some nearly forgetton
yet all dear to the heart
you were there for me.
In times of trouble
and in times of thanks
you stood by my side
and held me up.
Through your ever-patient ears
to your comforting hugs
you were there for me.
From that first day
when I saw you and knew
that you would love me for who I was
you were there for me.
And until the day
when we are old and gray
I will always know that
you are there for me.

"I care about him too much," she says
She's wearing flannel pajamas and a college sweatshirt
She'd always gone for comfort
Comfort and a good bowl of ice cream
She refuses to cry
And I watch her and admire her strength
And I admire her sensitivity
I'd flipped out one time and she had to wrestle the knife away from me
I saw her eyes that night when she threw the knife across the room
When she told me I couldn't hurt myself 'cause she'd miss me
We were Siamese twins once- joined at the hip
We're just people now
Nothing special...about me at least
She appreciates everything
She goes through his drawers and tells me the meaning of it all
She opens my eyes
She's never had anyone that deserved her
She's never been on a pedestal to anyone...
else
She laughs as she helps me up when I'd fallen
"I don't think you know how smart you are" she tells me
And I watch her eyes water
She could talk for hours
All night, if acting happy didn't take up so much damn energy
I wish she didn't have to act anymore
I wish life wasn't such a movie
I'm sick of all those fighting scenes
And crying scenes
And I know she is too, but she's always been such a good actress
She laughs when I walk in the rain
She's always been more fond of the sun
She likes nice weather when she goes to get the mail.

For My Best Friend

This is for you, my best friend,
the one person i can tell my soul too
Who can relate to me like no other
Who I can laugh with to no extents,
Who I can cry too when times are tough,
Who can help me with the problems of my life.
Never have you turned your back on me
Or told me I wasnt good enough
Or let me down
I don't think you know what that means to me
You have went through so much pain and you still have time
For me.
And I love you for listening even when inside YOU are dying
And I look up too you because you are strong,
and caring
and beautiful.
Even though you don't think you are.
And I hope you know that I am always here
To listen to you laugh and cry and help
In all the ways that i can
And I will try to be at least half the friend you are
To me.
I hope you know I would not be the person I am today, with out you.
My best friend.

A FRIEND LIKE YOU

Everyone should have
a friend like you
You are so much fun to be with
And you are such a good person
You crack me up with laughter
And touch my heart with your kindness
You have a wonderful ability
To know when to offer advice
And when to sit in quiet support
Time after time
You've come to my rescue
And brightend so many
Of my routine days
And time after time
I've realized how fortunate
I am that my life includes you
I really do believe that
Everybody should have a friend like you
But so far it looks like
You are one of a kind!

A Friend Most True
© Wendy Hinson 04.03.99
I need to know if you’re my true friend,
will you be by my side until the end?
Can I tell you my secrets deep,
and trust them in your heart you’ll keep?
We are neither of us without our flaws,
can you accept mine as I will yours?
I’ll be a shoulder to cry on when you’re blue,
will you be there for me when I need you?
No matter how busy I will make time for you,
if you are busy will you make time for me too?
I will take your hand and comfort your tears,
will you hold me and soothe my fears?
I will give you joy and many warm smiles,
can we share that even across many miles?
I will not forget what’s important to you,
will you remember what’s important to me too?
With you my most favourite things I’ll share,
If only I know do you truly care?
If you can accept me as I do you,
then I will know you are a friend most true.
