To begin, you cannot buy a friend.
You cannot rent a friend.
They are spontaneous,
Like combustion, or
Cultivated by life-long learning.

You can't cheat a friend.
You actually cheated a stranger, and
Yourself.

You can lie to a friend, but
It's temporary.
(I ended a lie by telling
The truth in the same sentence), or
It could take longer.

You can't steal from one.
You probably gave or
Loaned it in the first place.
Besides, it just doesn't happen.
See reason above for cheating a friend.

You can't, I hope,
Physically hurt your friend
Because of the mirror-like
Honesty they reflect.
That is prima motivum
For a friend.

It could be difficult
To befriend a friend's friend,
But for your friend's sake,
You're friends, or
Okay acquaintances.

Befriend the young and elderly,
The less fortunate, and
Be careful with strangers, but
Don't rule them out.
Be friendly.
And,
When you're a friend,
Be a friend.
