On Friendship

Let friendship receive the best of yourself. Let her swallow your laughter, poise, your intellect and struggles.  Let her be the one who takes the time to nurture you back, and the one to make you listen, the one to make you live and the one to make you see what you might not have before. Don't let her be the shadow of your existence or let her become your shadow of your existence, but let her fall in the center, and become saturated to your being, as well as hers. Let her experience the worst, so she knows to cherish the best. Sometimes, let the silence of desire overcome you both, then let the joy of friendship absorb you once again. When you part from her, and then return, the bond becomes a stronger one for the lack of vision results in a better understanding of where your love lies. But that being said, don't let her define you...let her illuminate you.
