My Friend

It's been a while since I logged in with any desire to write.

But somehow, today, after speaking to my friend

I feel the urge tonight.

 

My friend is someone of whom I don't know

for you see we've never met.

But we work together and a friendship does show

but friendship is all I get.

 

I don't want more, not yet at least

for the wounds still run deep.

But I must confess that I think of them

lying here trying to sleep.

 

For now my friend is there to talk

about whatever I want it seems.

And I honestly hope that each night they sleep

and have only plesant dreams. 

 

For they are my friend and as you well know

that friendship means a great deal.

For I do not lightly give friendship away

for someone to simply steal.

 

Nay, friendship to me is a special bond

that goes beyond time and space

and because of that bond it is often found

that you don't need to see the friends face.

 

But this friend understands, they've been there too.

They know just what I mean.

When I talk about the pains I feel

and the things that I have seen.

 

That is why I am happy to say

As I push the goodnight send.

I'm happy to know that you're there.

my new and awesome friend.

Poems about friendship are

Poems about friendship are among the best to read. Thanks for sharing this one. It would seem there are roughly two types of friends, one towards the acquaintance or the casual friend with whom camaraderie is real and ready and almost spontaneous. The other is the deeper kind, more sought after, that isn't bound by time or space; and tags for them are BFF, close friend, good friend, best friend, intimate friend... and the like to describe the depth of that connection. Thanks again!
