End of the Line

We are so very far away, and yet, so very close.

Friendship

Is something we don't know we have

Until it is gone and we feel lost without it

It is a friend standing up for you

Staying by your side, no matter what

It is sharing secrets, secure in knowing

That they will keep them

Friendship

Is the way your heart overflows

With happiness when you see them again

After a very long time

It is the wide smile on your face

And the quickening in your step

Friendship

Is that hand reaching to rescue you

From the demons in the dark

Friendship

Is the hug you need when you don't know it

It is the pillar that helps you stand

And face your fears

Friendship

Is the comfort knowing

That no matter what, you are not alone

Friendship

Is a bond that lasts

Not worn down by

The harshness of time

Distances that cannot be bridged

Jealousy over petty things

Friendship

Is knowing that you are with me

Till the end of line
