What Friendship Really Means

I wrote this poem a pretty long time ago... I wrote in on December 10, 2006. I decided to write it because I realized friendship should mean a lot to people, and many of us take it for granted, not thinking about the "real world". I've had stuff like that happen a lot to me. Some of those who you think are you friends turn into backstabbers, and some turn into people that you though they never were, and sometimes, by luck, you can find that true friend that you seem to connect with... And most of the time, can speak to, no matter how bad things seem to get, and after your done spending time with them, even if you don't talk, you feel better somehow. This poem describes exactly what friendship should be like... Well, the positive side to it anyway.

The Meaning of Friendship

The meaning of each and everyday,
One person to help push you,
Through, even when you have nothing to say,
A person to encourage you when you feel down,
Something to make you feel strong,
Just helps you, by the sound,
Of their voice, and their support,
Whether you are right or wrong,
Giving you a sweet smile,
Or giving you an angered stare,
Making a few moments last a long while,
Or just letting you know they're there,
Wiping up your tears,
Giving you some sort of reason,
Taking away your fears,
Being there for each and every season,
Getting a chance to live,
A life with someone who understands you,
With the love, only you can give,
And you receive the same back,
Because they love you too!!!

I know this sounds like a poem that can be used as an example of relationships between girls that are friends, but I have seen exceptions with guys as well and of course coed relationships. I believe that friends can help you a lot, no matter how far away they are from you, or how close. They are there for you, through and through, and that's is what truly matters.
