The Joys of Having a Best Friend
Dedicated to 'Ardhoniel' on her return from camp
When there's no one to talk to, there is your best friend.
When you're wishing someone would remember you and do something to show they care,
when you least expect it, your best friend does something incredibly sweet.
When you wish you weren't so alone, your best friend calls.
When no one seems to care to listen, your best friend does;
even if she doesn't give a darn about what you're saying,
she listens because she is your best friend.
When you want desperately to be able to have someone to love,
to dedicate all your life and energy to, there is your best friend.
When you desire a companion, and when you desire to be a companion,
through thick and thin, she is there.
When your life seems hollow and meaningless, she is there to give to.
When there are words to write, but no one to write them for, she is there.
When there are posts to type, but no one to type for, she is there.
When there are prayers to be prayed, but no one to pray for, she is there.
When there are tears to shed, but no one to shed them for, she is there.
When there is laughter, but no one one to laugh for, she is there.
When you want a reason to run and there's no one to run for, she is there; and even though it's really hot out and you're going down a highway you can run because she is finally home from camp and she's so contagiously happy!

Oh! That is so amazing Elisabeth! Thank you for being my best friend. I just hope I can live up to all of that.
ReplyDeleteYou're welcome. Your last sentence- you think I post stuff that isn't true already? yeah right.
ReplyDeleteAnyway, I just read your post and what you said about appreciating other people- it is so true!
As much as I dislike Facebook, I would love to "like" this post. =P
