For Friendship

Breathe deep and listen to the ocean,
dive in and let the waves crash over
Your emotions. Take care to stare at
the sky above; whisper secrets of
wishful longing and love.

Cry out in the twilight beneath the
vanishing stars; remember how
unique a person you are. Care
solely for those who have cared
for you, returning affections out
of truths.

These are the truths we keep as
evidence, knowing true friendship
needs no common sense. Whether
holding hands or dodging fists, you
are always going to take the risk.

To protect and hold, strive and
survive; basic instincts we recognize.
The need to care and be cared for in
return, is as simple as an act of recoiling
when you are badly burnt.

Never linger on a single day, because
gradually it will begin to fade. But close
your eyes and look to the sun; this
friendship has only begun.
