Reasons why...

Reasons why...
you're my friend,
I care,
we stick together,
you're amazing,
we are perfect,
you listen.
Yes,
only some of the reasons why...
I couldn't live without you.

Author's Note

Cheesy but true, and sadly so. One would think that a person should prefer themselves or couldn't live without food or water but for one to truly live they must have a friend who won't turn their back on them. So true, I'm lucky. It has been a little over one year since I met some of the best friends in my life. Sadly, one of them isn't happy. I want her to be happy because she means so much to me. At the root of this it sounds like I am looking out for her. I am ashamed because I feel so selfish. Trying to save her from thoughts because I couldn't possibly live without one of my best friends. I hope life gets better for her because I hate to see her like this but I will support her through thick and thin. I just hope she remembers that.

That's really sweet. I hope she gets better, too. She must be really glad that she has a friend like you. I think that she wants to get better, but she thinks she can't. After reading your "Author's Note", I can see that she means a lot to you, and ves versa. You really shouldn't feel ashamed or selfish; she wouldn't want you to. You couldn't have stopped the thoughts that reached her; don't get too down. Her life will get better, but I think she just doesn't want to admit it to herself that it will. Saying that you stick together, I think of me and my friend; we are like glue, or a little girl with icecream. I know, icecream, weird, but I really want some and there's some in my freezer. Point is, it reminds me of my friend and I. She listens, because she doesn't want to loose you, too, it seems. Even though this is "cheesy", it's deep. I truly love this. 100/100

One must write when they have inspiration, my friend gives me the hope that my dreams can come true. She will because I'm going to help her. So is another one of our friends. She does mean a lot to me. More than anyone could ever know. Ice cream is the perfect analogy in this case because our favorite people in the "world" that we look up to love ice cream. Ice cream is yummy, I had some today from TCBY. Thanks. :)

Right?!

Ya know why else I'm lucky? Because she's such a great friend. My friend should go to the freezer soon and get some ice cream. but not yet cause I'm talking to her.

[Savior of Time]

Thanks for your review.

[Nobody Now]

Sweet, concise.

More so then food or water, the soul cannot without emotion or love.

Even if it is just the love shared between friends.

it is a very rare thing indeed to have a true friend, even once in a lifetime. there are so many things which can determine the value of a liaison between two people. Dell, i am almost 59 years old and i can tell you...there have been many friends who have come along and fallen by the wayside for one reason or another. i love your take on this. it means a lot to me to see that i was not alone in my thinking as a young man. truth is, when thick comes to thin and when push comes to shove...that is when you find out who your true friends are. i have had only one, and still do. awesome write, Dell. thank you for sharing.

[Phillitup]
