How can I describe friendship?
Something that shifts and changes constantly
How can I catch it to put it on paper?
Sometimes, you think it will never end,
And then it's gone.
Then, when you think it seems pretty fragile
It lasts forever
With some, it makes you give,
Buy them presents, please them,
Make them happy.
With others, you give as well,
But of yourself, your inner thoughts
Your problems and feelings,
And they give you theirs.
Some people you share with,
And they are your friends
Some people you play with
And they are your friends, also
Some you greet with a hug
And laugh at their antics,
But inside, they mean nothing to you
So how do you describe a friend?
Ask your heart.
