I don’t think you will Ever fully understand How you’ve touched my life And made me who I am. I don’t think you could ever know Just how truly special you are, That even on the darkest nights You are my brightest star. You’ve allowed me to experience. Something very hard to find, Unconditional love that exists In my body, soul, and mind. I don’t think you could ever feel All the love I have to give, And I’m sure you’ll never realize You’ve been my will to live. You are an amazing person, And without you, I don’t know where I’d be. Having you in my life Completes and fulfills every part of me. — Toni

10. Our Friendship

As I think of our friendship, I begin to see Mere words can’t describe what you mean to me. When this cold, hard world has me lonesome and blue, I look up to see my angel, my sweet angel, you. You dry the tears that fall from my eyes. You bring me sunshine to brighten my sky. You rescue me when I’m scared and alone And take my hand to lead me home. No matter the miles that keep us apart, We’re always together in each other’s hearts. Sometimes we take for granted, I fear, The ones who are so close and dear. We get so caught up in life and things we must do. Sometimes we forget to stop and say I love you. If ever you felt I forgot or didn’t care, Let me stop right now; my true feelings I’ll share. You’re the sun in my sky, the bed where I lie. You’re the home where I’m safe, the field where I play. You’re everything I am, everything I do. So what I am saying is I LOVE YOU! — Marcia M. Griffith

11. Kind, Joyous, Amazing Best Friend

You have become my closest friend. It’s been just about a year, And you’re the one I turn to When I’m down and need an ear. Ever since the day, you told me your secret, I have changed my ways for the better, And I started to feel Like I actually matter. You have always been there for me As I have been for you. I hope we never drift apart. I don’t know what I’d do without you. You’ve become so important in my life. Things would be different without you. I’d still be a bit of a tool, And I’d always be feeling blue. I thank you for all the times we’ve shared. It has been the best year ever. Even when we go our separate ways, The bond we share, I will never sever. — Kody Stegmann

12. A Special Kind Of Love

There never was such a friendship that has made me feel this way. It’s been there from the beginning, so I just want to say, You were there with me when it was hard to forget That my heart was aching, and it hadn’t healed yet. The things you’ve said have proved me right That this friendship has made me see the light. You’ve never tossed around my heart, and I know it’s true Because this is a special kind of love for me and for you. — Julia Kistner

13. Walk Away

I watch you walk away from me, And the tears start to fall. I ask myself a million times, How did we lose it all? For the first time, I had no words That to you, I could say. I cling to old memories. And I watch you walk away. I just don’t want to let you go, But inside, I know I must. My heart’s whimpering with pain, But it’s my mind, I trust. There’s confusion around me, There’s numbness in my heart, But looking at you walk away My world just fell apart. If only I could handle it And bear to just say, I’d use my breath and say the words: Don’t Walk Away! — Mili Jain

14. A Friendship Lost

I remember the time not long ago When we laughed and shared it all. We were the very best of friends, Or at least that’s what I thought. I often wonder why friendships end. What happens to sever that tie? How can someone once so close Just wave you off with a goodbye? I must have been lacking. I must have been wrong. I wasn’t a friend to you. That you were to me all along. I thought I was loyal. I know I was true, But something went wrong. Now there’s nothing to do. A friendship lost Is a very sad thing. The angels weep instead of sing. — Brenda J. Metz

15. Broken Friendship

I watch you walk away from me And my tears start to fall. I always ask myself a billion times, How did we lose it all? For the first time in forever, I had no words to you, I could say. I stick to old memories. As I watch you walk away. — Neldine Pierreville

16. This Is Our End

You can stand there and smile; you can sit there and laugh, but you can’t trick me; I know it’s a mask. You’re trying to lie to me and everyone else, but why is it that you’re lying to yourself? You can calmly sit there and try to look cool, but I know your emotions, and I know you’re a fool. I know inside you you’re feelings rage. The suspense builds with the turn of a page. By day you’re one person, by night another, and neither of them have anything to do with each other. I’ve watched you sink farther from your heart, and all of this just tears me apart. I sit here and cry, for you, not for me. What you’ve become, I wish you could see. No words could I use to help me explain what it does to me to see you in pain. You’re not there anymore, my dearest friend. I hate to say this, but this is our end — Jessica A. Phillipi

17. We Were Always Meant To Be

We believed we were always meant to be, But we’re already falling apart, don’t you see? How could things have gone so wrong? What if our time has come and gone? We believed we were always meant to be, Yet you left me to be so lonely. All those broken promises and untold secrets Still break my heart into a million pieces. We believed we were always meant to be, But now I’ve lost hope in you and me. This silence between us is tearing me apart. Will you ever come back for my broken heart? — Nanditha Murali

18. True Friendship

It isn’t the years, It isn’t the tears That makes life worthwhile. It’s the memories that grew And the people you knew That will bring back a smile. Mistakes that were made, Plans often mislaid Are a part of the past. What you’ve kept in your mind Is where you will find What you wished to hold fast. Some things in life May be had without strife. It can happen that way. Still, a friendship is earned, And where love is concerned, I’m willed to say. When life draws to a close, Let me be one of those To cry, “Life has been great!” It’s the friends that were made, Those who lived unafraid. That is proof of the world we create. — Alora M. Knight

19. Life-Long Pals

We are always by each other, never leaving. We are best friends, never deceiving. Sometimes we fight. Sometimes we cry. We’re best friends; we never lie. Life- long pals mean best pals forever and ever. We’ll never be apart, never. But some things change. You moved away. I thought you were here to always stay. But we made a promise to be lifelong pals. We turned out to be the best gals. If something ever happened to you, I’d remember we made a friendship pact. Everybody knows we’re friends, yep, that’s a true fact. I will always love you no matter where you may be. Just remember to always remember me! — Sierra

20. Long-Lost Friends

To see that face you’ve missed so much, To feel that warmth inside. To see how much you mean to them, Reflected in their eyes. To feel that sense of comfort. That you felt in times gone by. To hug someone with all your might, To laugh until you cry. To escape to all those memories, Those moments that you shared. To feel each strong emotion, As if you were right there. To recall that sense of purpose. That you felt when so naïve. And the world was open wide to you And you were fearless and so free. To remember all those special friends. Who has long since passed away? To share regrets, you each possess And haunt you still today. To reveal whatever pain you’ve had. In the years that have gone by. And together, feel so grateful. That somehow you both survived. To know this person inside out, Their past secrets and their schemes. Who helped you through some troubled times And shared your hopes and dreams. To know your heart and soul are safe And there is no judgment there. And no matter what you say or do, All they want to do is care. To feel that love that makes you whole And finally, find yourself again. No, there’s nothing better in this life, Than being with a long-lost friend! — Patricia A. Fleming

21. Bonds Of Friendship

From the day that I first knew you, Your heart was pure and kind; Your smile was sweet and innocent, Your wit was well refined. The sparkle in your eyes was keen, Your friendship fast and real; Soft words were your virtue, And humor your appeal. We grew as friends together, We laughed and shared our dreams; Along the way, crush or two, Went unrevealed, it seems. As years rolled on, our paths were split, Our roads went separate ways; We each pursued our interests, That occupied our days. We soon forgot our youthful bliss, Of tender carefree years; We didn’t talk or keep in touch, Throughout life’s pain and tears. Then my darkest hour came, And tried me to my core; To save my heart from ruin, I closed and locked the door. Then out of every nowhere, With precise, directed cue; An old familiar smile, Came slowly into view. Although much time was gone, And the die of fate long cast; It was as if we hadn’t missed, A second of the past. You listened with attentive care, And reassured my mind; That loving hearts are still alive, With purpose and design. Deep inside, I’ve locked way, Emotions yet untold; As time goes on and bonds grow strong, They will all unfold. So thank you, friend, for taking time, To demonstrate your love; It’s yet another blessing that, I’m undeserving of. — Craig Burkholder

22. My Friend

Whenever I think of the times, we’ve shared together, I’m reminded of the pains and heartaches we’ve had to weather. It seems no matter what’s going on, To find comfort we don’t have to wait too long. What then do we do when times get harder as we continue to grow older? Let me just say this to you, Our friendship is very dear and special, too. So please, no matter what happens between us, Don’t let our friendship turn to dust. Or I will, without a doubt, fall apart, With the pieces of my broken heart. — Heidi Davin

23. My Friend

As the years pass us by as we grow old and apart I want you to know that you’re always in my heart You helped me with problems through good times and bad times You helped me keep smiling when I felt sad You helped me stay strong as we listened and sent each other country songs I’ll never find another friend as you Even though we didn’t know each other that long. Wherever the years take us, no place is too far; you’ve been a wonderful friend with a good heart to lend, and I want you to know I’m glad we met your someone special I’ll never forget. —  Carol A. Smith
