To care for someone is normal
To even love them is equally fair
For friends can be as close as family
If not closer
Carving their place in your heart
With their personality and impulsive energy
The simple air about them
Sometimes irritating
Yet not half as much
As their endearing and carefree way
The  sideways glance they give you
Knowing their aspirations
You, a role model
A mentor, a figure of respect
Of strength, of calm
Friends
Friends
They know us
They don't have to be there
Unless they want to be
Jokingly they hold a weakness of yours
Up so that everyone can  see
Making you laugh at yourself
Remembering a time when you slipped
When they tripped over, you remember?
Special times,
Can you imagine that friend
Can you imagine that person
No don't......
I know what you're going to say
Keep going each of us
The times are good
We must contain our emotions
And Remember those days
I can't really forget how they made me feel
How I loved that smile
How I felt when sometimes it didn't work out
when the plans went a bit wrong.
Don't you think we laughed
We did, we did, we did
So funny, and yet now those times
Seem a million years ago
Or only yesterday
Or the day before

From where we are
I would travel back there
Right now
Right now and relive those moments
That moment when we sat with our tea
Telling about our weekends
Suddenly that cheeky smile
That vulnerable soul
That ****** stupid grin that lit up their face
And gave a feeling of life to everyone
I could hug you and squeeze you up
Thank you for that....

For my friend, my lovely friend
I miss you
