Friendship Poetry

This section is for poetry inspired by friendship. If i have learned anything in life so far it is that you cannot go through life without friends.
Friends are the people who pick you up when you haven't got the energy to pick yourself up.
 

Friendship
 
what is a friend and how do you tell?
a friend is someone you can trust
you can never care for a friend too much
friends are people you remember for life,
people who help you through your strife.
with a friend you drop all prejudice
a person or animal who forgets all malice
with a friend you never feel alone
and you can for them everything condone.
 
Running away
 
It's knowing that you care for me
that makes me feel secure
i don't know where i'd be without you
with you i'm reassured.
you always acted like a friend
even when i tried to hide
that's what makes me love you so,
the fact you understand.
the need i have to hold you away
sometimes keep you at arms length. 
i guess sometimes i scare you
the fact i try to run away.
 
Special Friend
 
looking deep into your eyes
i sense the love within you,
the love you give me as a friend,
the one i mistook so badly for lust
i realise i cannot love you,
not as a object of my sexual desires
yu mean more than that to me,
you saved me from myself,
so many times.
you'll always be special,
always more than i could ask for,
i couldn't risk that on sex,
it just wouldn't be worth it,
your more special than anything.
you are my special friend.
 
 
To a great friend
 
holding me up
when the tide turned against me
holding me near
when i felt so alone
you showed me love
when the spark was gone
you made me feel alive
when i felt almost dead
you picked me up
when i stumbled
and taught me to smile again.

yup, you're still here.
