The love of a friend.

You were there in my time of need
Not knowing the meaning of greed

If I need it, you’ll give your last dime
Rich or poor, you gave me a good time

You did everything a friend should
And treated me the best you could

You comforted me when I was sad
And laughed with me when I was glad

I recall the times we used to share
And I want you to know I still care

I will always try to be there
Whenever, wherever you need my cheer

When you need me, I’ll be there in a hurry
When you are down, you don’t have to worry

Though some things you do may be wrong
Our friendship will ever remain strong

  12. Happy Birthday to Myne's SO, and thanks for being such a great friend.

    The best thing a friend ever did for me was waiting up for me when I travelled on a long journey. I arrived back at the hostel to find out he was waiting up for me.

    Now I am getting all mushy...let me go send him a note.

    Lovely poem, Myne.

  16. Happy bday to ur SO. I've got a best friend and she has done inumerable stuff for me. I always say God didn't give me a sister coz he prepared sumone better for me, my bestie! One thing i've done for her is hold her hair back and support her when she was sick & puking. I know it doesnt sound like a big deal, but for me it is coz if i see sum1 puking, i puke too. Well, it's worth it and i'll do it again if i have to. Her bday is also in feb. Leggy SO is significant order (i think)

  26. Leggy... I think s.o. means "significant other"... I hope I'm not shooting my mouth off here :)

    A true friend is someone who loves unconditionally. When romantic feelings enter the picture, conditions usually follow: you want the person because they make you feel good, because they are romantic with the flowers and all that jazz. Friends are the ones who have to put up with the real you: the unsexy, unromantic, non-upgraded (LOL) version of yourself. That's probably why true friendships often outlast love affairs. The lucky few (not mentioning names(***cough***cough***MYNE!****COUGH)have those tow wonderful things wrapped up in one :)

  27. my high school best friends are still my best friends even though they dot know it.

    once i had to lend a friend 100 dollars, but i forgot to go to the bank for it, and that day it was snowing heavily, taxis were absent,and the bus had left. i walked to the dorm in 30 minutes and then had to go back to the bank again for the money.

    i was a snowgirl at the end of that day, seriously it took me about 3 hours to de-freeze. it was terrbile.

    my friend appreciated it though.
