Friendship

{Post: 32/365}
isn't it funny
that some friends
are gone away
for a long time
and yet when you
get together again
it is like it was yesterday

isn't it funny
that some friends
are with you daily
or very often
and  when you
get together
it is like you DIDN'T just see them yesterday

isn't it funny
that some friends
are busy
and don't always have time
and yet when you DO
get together again
it is like continuing a conversation after a pause

isn't it funny
that some friends
say that they want to
see you and spend time with you
but when you do 
get together
they seem like they aren't really there with you

isn't it funny
that some friends
come and go
for only a brief moment of time
but every moment
of the time together
is full of joy and vivacious life

isn't it funny
that some friends
stay
from the moment you meet
until the end 
of your time
and fill your life with meaning EVERY day

isn't it funny
that sometimes
your friend becomes
your significant other
and every moment of this relationship
in time
grows richer and deeper than you could have ever imagined

isn't it funny
that some friends
come into your life
and fit comfortably
into your life and space and silences
and just enjoy the time
of BEING with you

isn't it funny
that sometimes a friend
is only a dream of something
you thought was real
and it turns out
it is time to let them go
because it was not...but it still breaks your heart

isn't it funny
that the BEST friend
you will really ever have
is YOURSELF
but it may take a whole
lifetime
for you to understand this and TREAT yourself RIGHT

isn't it funny
how often it is that
we cling to a toxic relationship
because we think we NEED them to love us
when what we really needed
the whole time
was to love ourselves MORE

isn't it funny
that we really do
NEED our friendships
to support us, encourage us, defend us
tell us the truth
about ourselves
and take the time required
to help us build ourselves into a better version of who we are

THANK YOU
to all the friends
in my life
who lift me up, support me, love me
and otherwise help me become 
a better version of myself
the time you give to me
is appreciated and cherished
