★ My Dear BFF ★

Looking back through the years,
I can’t believe how long
We have been best friends,
Through good times and bad.

When I needed someone to cry,
With me and laugh together
Give me a shoulder to lean on,
And a hug to make me feel better.

So as time passes and days go by,
Just remember that when you need me
That no matter what,
I will always be there by your side.

To our dear friend…

I promised myself I wouldn’t let you see my fear.
The fear of what’s to come, of being left alone.
The fear of change-the unknown.
I’m supposed to be the strong one, the one that others can run to.

I feel like breaking down, but I won’t.
I want to believe nothing will change, but I don’t.
I know that this is part of growing up and moving on
and I’ve known it all along.

But somehow it seemed so perfect.
I was searching for something and found friends.
Friends who I could turn to, talk to, cry with and rejoice with.
Someone who didn’t judge me, only loved me.
For who I am and who I was.

What more could I ask for? What more could I want?
We’ve gone through a lot these past few years,
gone through heartbreak, joys and tears.
You’ve been there for me, as I have for you
and we’ve always managed to pull through.

I know we may not be the best you have,
but you still hold us close and that is all we ask.
Hoping and praying things will turn out okay,
wishing that tomorrow will be a better day.

I have so much to say.
There are thank you’s, and some other things as well,
there’s one thing in particular that I just need to tell.
You may or may not read this-I may never find out,
but if I don’t say it now it may never be said.
I’m scared of what will happen next.
I am scared of losing a friend that really matters to me.
I hope that I have affected your life in some positive way or style.

I hope that no matter where growing up takes you-
that no matter where you go or what you do
you will think of our friendship.
A friendship that is genuine and true.

Friendship Poems

A friend is someone we turn to
when our spirits need a lift.
A friend is someone we treasure
for our friendship is a gift.
A friend is someone who fills our lives
with beauty, joy, and grace.
And makes the whole world we live in
a better and happier place.

- Jean Kyler McManus –

Standing by,
All the way.
Here to help you through your day.

Holding you up,
When you are weak,
Helping you find what it is you seek.

Catching your tears,
When you cry.
Pulling you through when the tide is high.

Just being there,
Through thick and thin,
All just to say, you are my friend.

- Brittani Kokko –

There is a miracle called Friendship
that dwells within the heart
and you don’t know how it happens
or when it even starts.

But the happiness it brings you
always gives a special lift
and you realize that Friendship
is God’s most precious gift.

- Jean Kyler McManus –

Friends will come and friends will go,
The seasons change and it will show,
I will age and so will you,
But our friendship stays, strong and true.

- Author Unknown –

There’s nothing as nice as someone who shares,
your laughter, your secrets, your wishes and cares,
someone who’s there through your good times and tears,
who stays by your side as your friend through the years.

- Autymn Skillings –

When you ask God for a gift,
Be thankful if he sends,
Not diamonds, pearls, or riches,
but the love of real true friends.

- Helen Steiner Rice –

Among life’s precious jewels,
Genuine and rare,
The one that we call friendship
Has worth beyond compare.

- Author Unknown –

Nothing lasts forever

There are a number of friendship myths that people believe — one of them is “good friendships should last forever.” The truth is, nothing lasts forever, including friendships. Buddha pointed out that everything is impermanent, and he was right. Spiritual beings may be eternal, but human relationships always end — either in death or some other parting of the ways. Relationships of all kinds, friendships included, are organic – they have a beginning, a middle, and an end. It’s normal and natural.

Friendships can end for a variety of reasons: one friend moves away; lifestyle changes like marriage or having a baby can shift the focus of a woman’s life and some of her friends may fall away; interests change and the basis of the friendship can disappear; health or lifestyle changes can result in friendship changes as well; and many other reasons.

There is nothing wrong with these changes in our friendship patterns — but they certainly can be painful, especially if one person wants to continue the friendship and the other person doesn’t.

A Good Friend

It is said that people are not counted by the number of friends they have, rather the number of people they are friends to.

Qualities & Characteristics Of Being A Good Friend

Be What You Are
In order to be accepted by others around you, do not try to be somebody that you are not. Be yourself. Let yourself be known and accepted for your own merits, rather than for being somebody that you are not.

Be Honest
A dishonest person may have friends around him/her, but not the true ones. If you to want to be a good friend to others, it is very important to show loyalty to the people around you. Do not break the promises that you have made to them. Think twice before giving your word – whether you can stand up to your saying or not. In case if you have promised and could not fulfill it, be honest to tell them about the whole dilemma.

Be Dependable
You should win confidence of people to whom you want to be a good friend. This is possible only when you show honesty to them. Be loyal. If your friend shares his/her best kept secret with you, do not let any third person get even a small hint about it. Blabbing the secret to others would result in the friend loosing confidence and trust in you. You will be then considered as a backstabber. Remember, trust is the foundation of good friendship. So, do not let loose their trust on you, at any cost.

Listen
Listen to your friends. Lend an ear to their needs, emotions, feelings and desires. Do not limit yourself by just listening to them. Show your reaction to whatever they say, with gestures. Showing sympathy won’t serve the purpose. Try to empathize their situations.

Be Present During Crisis
Be there through the thick and thin of your friend’s life. You should be the first person to help your friend at the time of crisis. For instance, if your friend is hospitalized, provide him/her immediate aid, like packing the bags, before being asked to do so. Don’t let your friend to indulge himself/herself into any illicit activity. Take special care of your friend, whom you think has been wedged to any kind of addiction. Advise him/her to get out of the habit. Whether it is physical, mental or financial support, let the first person to be there, rather than being a last resort.

Friendship Quotes

Lots of people want to ride with you in the limo, but what you want is someone who will take the bus with you when the limo breaks down. -Oprah Winfrey

Life ends when you stop dreaming, hope ends when you stop believing, love ends when you stop caring, friendship ends when you stop sharing.

You got nothing to lose. You don’t lose when you lose fake friends.

There are three types of friends: those like food, which you can’t live without; those like medicine, which you need occasionally; and those like an illness, which you never want.

If you give up your best friend or any friend for another group, then your are not a friend at all.

True friends don’t kick you when your down.

True friends are those who really know you but love you anyway.

A real friend is like an angel who warms you by her presence and remembers you in her prayers.

A friend is a hand that is always holding yours, no matter how close or far apart you may be. A friend is someone who is always there and will always, always care.

A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked.

Friends show their love in times of trouble.

Memories last forever never do they die. Best friends stick together and never say goodbye.

I love my Girlfriends!!! :)
