Friendship
October 28, 2014
Friendship is a funny thing,
It comes and goes in places
Where no one would suspect
And just when you think you have it grasped,
It slips away to hide
It comes at high a price
Yet is given away freely
You keep it close
But give it up
Every day,
Every hour,
Every second
Friendship has rips,
Friendship has holes,
But friendship mends,
And friendship repairs
And nothing can separate
True friendship

I really like how simple, but how meaningful it is. I love how you see the different angles of friendship, the truth is, it isn't always pretty.
I wanted to point out the irony of friendship--how in order to gain it you have to give it. It is an amazing thing--it can stretch, it can shrink, but it doesn't break. Yes it can, but it also can withhold a lot of suffering before it does
