To the "Old Friend"....

Friendship is a funny thing. Just like any other relationships it needs to be nurtured. To me, I liken friendship to that of the man/woman relationship. Its just as complicated, if not more. It needs to be built and nurtured. And then there's are those friends whom you know are the "right" ones for you. The soul mates. I have had my fair share of crashes and burns from the different friendships that I have built up over the years. From school days to college days to now ... my working days. There were those true friends who has stuck by me through thick and thin. Watched me laughed and watched me cry, they did it with me. There were those who watched me laughed and watched me cry just from a distance. Then there those who first made me laugh, then the very ones who made me cry. Each has left a significant mark in my life.

There are friends who walked in and stayed put through all the years. Then there are those that walked in and walked out and yet inexplicably who came back, and things just fell back to the way they were, just like they never left. Then ... there's those who walked in, stamped around, tore what I thought were beatiful tapestries of a friendship formed into shreds and left the little pieces lying around...

To you the friend(s) that has always stayed with me through thick and thin ... my deepest and most heartfelt thanks. I hope that I'm the same friend to you as you are to me. This is for you ...

You Were There For Me

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

For the friend(s) who walked out and walked back in again just as though you never left. And especially to the one who has just walked back in recently and opened up to me as I have to you, this is for you...

A Friend Like You

Everyone should havea friend like you

You are so much fun to be withAnd you are such a good person

You crack me up with laughter

And touch my heart with your kindness

You have a wonderful abilityT

o 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!!

To the friend(s) that walked out, shredded what I believed in and left the pieces behind...

Friends No Longer

Sorry I forgot to tell you

That as my friend you must be true.

As that I went to say,

No more were we at play.

I meant to tell you the future looked bright,

But all of a sudden we got in a fight.

I went to tell you we should be friends,

That I will be here untill the end.

But you would not listen to me,

So friends no longer shall we be.

Hmmm .. sitting here with nothing to do and reflecting on the past is making me a little pyschotic! But seriously, thank YOU for being there for me all these while and also to YOU who came back! (Y'all know who you are!!!)

XOXOXO
