Sometimes, the word “friend” is used loosely. Other times, friendship is taken for granted. A real friend, a good friend, is hard to find. However, when you find one, you will know because they accept you and appreciate you, just the way you are.
For those whom feel abandoned and forgotten, here is your voice:
Who can appreciate the friend who’s always there? The one that provides an ear, guidance, and their shoulder to lean or weep on.
Who can appreciate the friend that, not only gives you time, but makes the time? Outside of spare time, aside from their time.
Who can appreciate the friend who truly cares? The one whom plays the angel on your right shoulder and never steers you wrong.
Who can appreciate a friend that loves and accepts for real? That one who values the real you.
It can be difficult to decide what I should post next. Out of the thousands of pictures taken over the year, the countless poems and thoughts, new and old…what should go here? I’ve been writing since Elementary. I’ve been taking photos since I ventured on into the World. I have had a lot of ups and downs, and even downer. Sometimes, I wonder if I should just write something on the spot, despite all my reserves. With all that to choose from, and all that I am still adding to my collection of works, I’m sure I could post every day. However, there is much else to be done. I do my best to stick to my Wednesday schedule, and I would like to apologize that I do not post at the same time every time. Next week, I may be posting on Monday. I have a surgery on Tuesday and I don’t know when, or if, I will be able to post again. For now, this is what I chose. I wrote it not, too, many days ago, with a friend I lost in mind. I miss him dearly and just want him to know that I am always here for him…even if it comes to be only in spirit.
Two hearts that once united, one can never let go.
Two souls that parted, one wishing for more.
A heart and soul that need you so, wanting your return.
But, oh, the stubborn one, whom believes it just isn’t so.
How could I not want the one who gave me life, the one who helped me smile?
How could I not want my best friend back, when a best friend is all my life is missing?
Two hearts that once united, two souls that once parted, can always be reunited.
Loneliness is but a void that cannot be filled. Surrounded by many, but never fulfilled. Alone in your thoughts; alone in your heart.
When you feel lonely, it is not the absence that drowns you, but the presence that cannot satisfy you.
Maybe, you’re misunderstood. Maybe, you’re different. Perhaps, you simply can’t be pleased, because no one knows what you need. Perhaps, nobody really knows you. Whatever the case, you are left standing alone. You may feel forgotten; you may feel uncared for, or not wanted. Even if you aren’t alone, you feel it so.
You seek what you need, looking forward and back in time, for any glimpse of company. You can’t see it in the present, it was never in the past, but the future may not be any brighter.
The company you wish for, may never be found…unless, you set your sights within.
So, be your own best friend; give yourself the love you crave; praise your own accomplishments. And, when you feel lonely, remember that loneliness is temporary. It might come and go. It might seem to linger forever. It may even be killing you. But, it won’t last.
If none of these words are enough to get you through…there is always someone out there. An angel, a hero (whatever you call it), that can fill that dark hole inside you. If you ever forget who that is, remember those whom truly love you. If you can’t think of any…
