A Best Friend

Published by Family Friend Poems October 2007 with permission of the Author.

A best friend is the one
who you can
talk to when no one is around
A best friend is the one
who you can
love when everyone else has let you down
A best friend is the one
who you can
tell everything to when no one else wants to listen
you are there for me through thick and thin
you are there for me until the end
I love you so much
I just want you to know
and I NEVER want to let you go!!!

A true friend listens and cares when you cry. True friends share laughter and enjoy the ride of life. A true friend doesn't use angry words that tear one down. No. True friends together raise above all that sin.

If someone tries to buy you with money or control you because you have lost everything, that is material. Be cautious because true friends don't buy love. They trust one another before anything. A true friend will take your hand when you're lost and remind you how important you are. True friends remind you gently when you've lost your way but never treat you like you are less than they. A true friend doesn't leave you alone for the holidays or enjoy to watch you struggle. No. True friends stay right there with you no matter what your trouble.

This made me think of someone I thought was a friend of mine. I remember when he left me. He just left me and went to others. I know I have an actual friend who cares for me and all the other things. He watches over me while my ex-friend watches me suffer as I get bullied by his "friends." He needs to learn they aren't his friends. They are just using him like they do to others and are soon going to get rid of him when they get what they want from him. I hate seeing that he is the real one who should be praying to the Lord our God. He always lies now. I can't stand that he isn't the person who was my best friend, whom I secretly loved and still do as more than a friend, but soon he moved away after some of the bullies and some of the kids at school including me saw him cutting his arms praying to God to end his life, I ran to him crying. Just know that when you lose someone you can always get them back.
