A person who will listen and not condemn
Someone on whom you can depend
They will not flee when bad times are here
Instead they will be there to lend an ear
They will think of ways to make you smile
So you can be happy for a while
When times are good and happy there after
They will be there to share the laughter
Do not forget your friends at all
For they pick you up when you fall

"do you think we're friends in every universe?"
i think sometimes
you're an unexpected present in June,
the gift of consideration outside of birthdays.
sometimes i'm gratitude, a full heart
thanking the heavens for you.
sometimes i’m the white-washed face of God
in someone's painting,

Every time I think of you my hands began to shake.
My knees begin to wobble and my head begins to ache.
You caused me nothing but trouble and I often wondered why.
I was good to you and I loved you so. You were the apple of my eye.
It started on the afternoon of the 23rd of May.
You were dating a boy named Anderson
but your game he couldn’t play.
Then when you saw me you fell in love
and you still love me today.

I don’t need a hundred hands
Clapping when I speak.
I just need one
That stays
When I don’t say anything.
I’ve seen friends.
They come with noise,
With photos taken just to be posted,
With promises thrown

Friendship is a Golden Chain,
The links are friends so dear,
And like a rare and precious jewel
It's treasured more each year...
It's clasped together firmly
With a love that's deep and true,
And it's rich with happy memories
and fond recollections, too...

“The Cupboard Light”
It was nearly midnight
when he slipped out of bed,
careful not to wake her.
The house exhaled its silence—
walls warm with sleep,
timber creaking
from the day’s last heat.

You are the quiet place
where my restlessness softens
the gaze that steadies my unspoken storms
the witness to my smallest hopes
and the heaviness I hide.
In your stillness
I find myself forgiven
before I have the courage to confess
seen without being measured
......
Like that one familiar friend -
Hope knows what I'm feeling
Before I've said anything
And gladly walks behind.
She has peace in her eyes
And keeps her lips silent;
Words are irrelevant
But hearing might suffice.
I don’t need a hundred hands
Clapping when I speak.
I just need one
That stays
When I don’t say anything.
I’ve seen friends.
They come with noise,
With photos taken just to be posted,
With promises thrown

Your hand-
a question I answered
before I knew language.
You look at me,
and time forgets
what I was doing.
If you leave,
the air will still move,
