Friends agree to make each other feel better when the other is down and out, in whatever pain they are trying to withstand, when there is no chance of survival. With a friend in hand there is no fear to feel, no pressure to wretch yourself from, no displeasure to kneel begging for mercy. With a friend beside you there is no need to look back, no need to worry or ponder differently than what is to come. There is no bad history in friendship, no hate or envy, only unity and oneness. Friendship is one of the most precious of human relations - it consists of love and care, pleasure and happiness, tenderness and experience. >>>>>>There are times when there are just too many oppositions for one person to defend themselves against, that is when we need our friends to take us up in their arms and yell the war cry and share the tears of success and feel the flames of passion and honor running through your veins. There are times when there is just too much joy to keep inside and we need someone to share it with, we need to tell someone how wonderful we feel - a friend should be there to be witness to your joy and your heart presenting the most beautiful smile it ever shined. A friend will be happy for you and feel as you do - for a friend wishes their buddy to be happy forever an ever - friends are brothers and sisters, blood and water together in the mix, soul mates eternally. >>>>>>Once we find a friend we should never look back and think again, we will always wish for them to be there when our hearts are up or down; but, we must also be wary of reality and fallacy - until there is no reason to see into the soul of your partner and be in disbelief, be wary - for the fire a friend carries upon his torch to burn you is fiercer than that of any away from those whom you love. This flame does not burn the flesh, it burns the heart, soul, and mind. I fear that flame, and have felt it scorch my every being. One cannot see the scars, but they can feel them on my flesh and see them through the cracks of my eyes - see the day my soul burned like wood and I became scarred for life. That day will never be forgotten, a scar in the eyes is always before you and will never go away. >>>>>>That scar is from betrayal, from the betrayal of someone I thought of as a friend, someone who broke that bond and demolished that vow - but, friendship is forever and will never be forgotten, that is why I do not look back at it with anger or regret, but with understanding and wisdom. This wisdom comes from the pain I had to endure, the understanding from the friendship that did exist. Sometimes friends become parents and become too protective - that is falling from grace and landing in the ditch of imperfect friendship - stretching that bond to the breaking point. Friends must never cross that point where blood and water separate and one acts as blood family - friends must allow the other to experience so that when the pain stabs and the tears rush down a cheek, there is a need for the silence to become undone and the friendship to rise from the heart-shaped box it sleeps in, ever wary and all knowing - because friends are always One.
