friends are something of which i have
real friends are what i sometimes lack
but i have a special person in my life
and that would be my bestfriend

she is always there when i need her most
i can tell her my deepest thoughts
she has this incredible power
where she can read me like an open book

we can whisper and talk for hours
it seems there is never a moment when we don't laugh
sharing stories and experiences
gossiping endlessly about others

tears and fears we also share
she always comforts and reassures me
when i'm feeling low or scared
she is always the first to point out the good things

but at times.....of course what is life without the but's
i feel like i never fully return the friendship
it seems that whenever she is feeling down and out
i can never say the things that matter

i remember the night the phone rang
with her on the other end in tears
she had lost the guy who she had thought was the one
she was overcome with despair and a feeling of betrayal

it was then that i realised just how helpless i was
as she was pouring her heart out i realised
i had nothing valuable to say or offer
i just sat and cried for her

i only hope that soon i can live up to the best friend role
the title has always scared me
i fear being trampled upon
as i have been in the past

her bubbly voice and nature brightens up my day
her outgoing ways and humor make me grin
and i can state with pride
that Jen you are by bestest friend

BEC

Jen, this is to show you what i really think of our friendship of which i hold dear. i hope that we never come upon the crossroads of which we would have to part...and i look forward to living my dreams and ambitions with you at my side

eva: while i dont care much for the awkward structure of this poem, i realize that it was written for the message and not the form, and in that respect i think your friend will be touched... so "Jen", i'm bumping this back up for you to read...

sincerely,

Being a best friend isn't about knowing what to say or knowing how to fix the problem. It is about being there when they need to cry. Showing them how to laugh again when they don't think that they can. A best friend is just there no matter what. Do not be afraid of it...just be there.

Bec this is a really touching poem for Jen. You should give it to her so she can read it.
