Friends

The people in the world that we meet, most of the time become our acquaintances. Although there are a few that we can consider them to be our friends. There many who say they have many friends, but when you think about it... there are only so many, you count in your hand. These are the people that you confide in, that know your most inner secretes and the friend the never leaves. I have come to know many people and I can honestly say that I have 5 people in my life, that no matter my choices they have always been there for me.

I have written this poem, with those people in mind...

The Friend That Knows You

Here's to a friend that knows you,

The one whose name will be left unknown.

The friend who wipes your tears,

Who sought to hold your hand...

When others left you alone,

Where beginning doesn't exist, only the end.

This friend is whom you turn to,

The one you call friend.

The friend laughs with you,

And cries with you.

The friend felt it was his/her duty

To always remind you of how much you're worth,

And to show all your inner beauty.

While other's eyes dwelled only...,

Upon the toughness, that the outer shell exposed.

They saw a girl with no fear, nor happiness,

But not seeing that when they turned,

The girl was left to whisper, while others didn't care.

The friend held your secrets to her/his heart,

This friend you could share.

Your friend never left you alone,

But now they are moving on.

For all the memories shared,

While we each take our paths.

Time will ease the pain,

But we each hold each others grace to the heart.

When you call them friends,

They saw the beginning to the end...!

This friends live near and far, but there is nothing that will change the love we share. 

No matter how far, I can count on them to be there. Since we are so close to  Valentine's Day, this is my message. 

Happy Valentine's Day, I hope that everyone has someone to share this day with. Be it your family, a loved one or just your friend. Don't let your fears keep you from sharing in this. Always remember to share the love, not only on Valentine but everyday.
