Longing

They can know you inside out
And not know who you are

They can grasp the meaning of your words
And not understand how you feel

They can make you so happy
And break your heart slowly

They can cause your blood to boil
And turn their eyes away

They can cut deep with tongues
And move on without realizing

They can remember bad experiences
And forget the helping hands

They can be standing looking right at you
And not see you at all

They can smile in front of you
And talk behind you

They can demand your loyalty
And show no appreciation

Who are these people?

These are my friends.

They can randomly call for a chat
And 15minutes lasts a week

They can sense when there is a need
And provide generously without thought

They can avoid talking about it
And make effort to cheer you up

They can be themselves
And let me be myself

They can be there through your worst
And still want to be there after

They will do the opposite of their likes
And hide it to make it your day

They can tell when to be by your side
And know when to leave you alone

They will ask you where you are
And you know they treasure you

They have seen you stripped naked
And still call you beautiful


I miss you my friends.
