Friendship

Friendship.
This word has many meanings

But to me it means
Being there until the end,
Holding my hand when I’m too scared.
Standing up for me
When I don’t have the guts.
Creating courage,
Where there was none before.
Not yelling when I call
In the middle of the night.
Listening to my problems
And not judging me at all.
It’s a shoulder to cry on,
When I can’t get through the day.

Yet it means so much more to me,
Than these simple words.
It’s a bond that runs deep,
Deeper than time,
Stronger than distance.
Nothing can destroy this bond.

It’s cliché,
Yet our friendship will last longer than time.
