Forever Friend

A friend’s love is like the ocean breeze that grazes your face

Like a star that bursts every time you hear their voice, it sweetens your day like candy

There’s a beauty that words cannot describe

Because we only know the majestic feeling we get with their love at our side

A friend’s love comforts in the midst of pain

They know it’s more about being present than having the right words to say

Like the perfect home cooked meal made with the special recipe only love can make

That soul food makes our stomachs full

As their love makes our hearts even fuller

A friend’s love knows us in ways we weren’t even aware of

It’s authentic, pure, and full of light

It can help bring us out of the darkest places

Oh such a sweet, satisfying delight

To have someone know you and not pass judgement

To have someone show you the meaning of true acceptance

By them just being who they are

And you just being you

It’s as if you were living life trying to solve a puzzle

And upon meeting them, you realized they were the missing clue

A friend’s love is a rare gem to be cherished

Timeless

Ageless

Priceless

Hug your friends a little tighter

Talk a little longer

Let them know how much they mean

Laugh a little louder

Sit a little closer

Tell them “I love you more, thank you for who you are to me”
