How are friendships created
What bonds their souls to each?
Tis it sharing their deepest secrets
Or the love spoken in their speech?

How are our friendships kept
Through strain that they may face?
Is it saying, ”I love you” sometimes,
Or occasionally touching base?

How can friendships be lost
When there seemed no end in sight?
By ignoring pain and anguish,
And not sharing in their delight.

So, I pledge to you, my friend,
I will never ever walk away;
I’ll share the good, and the bad,
And beside you I’ll always stay.

So when life isn’t worth it,
When the tears roll down your cheek
Just close your eyes and listen
from a distance you’ll hear me speak.

Though my words seem pointless,
When no answers I seem to impart
Don’t listen like in the past
But listen within your heart.

For the important things in life
Are invisible to your eyes;
You’ll hear them in your heart
For your heart will tell no lies.

So, though I may be far away,
Too far for you to reach,
Remember I’m there forever
For I’ve told you in my speech.

Yet, distance never mattered
For distance will only depend
On the depth of the love I have
And I love you dearly, my friend.

When clouds are at their darkest
And no lining do you see
You have a friend, so close,
And that friend - my friend - is me.

Poetry is just the evidence of life.
If your life is burning well, poetry is just the ash. "
Leon Cohen~
