A friend is a person you can trust, who won't turn away from you: a friend
will be there when you really need someone, and will come to you when they
need help. A friend will listen to you even when they don't understand or
agree with your feelings; a friend will never try to change you, but
appreciates you for who you are. A friend doesn't expect too much or give
too little; a friend is someone you can share dreams, hopes, and feelings
with...A friend is a person you can think of and suddenly smile; a friend
doesn't have to be told that they are special, because they know you feel
that way. A friend will accept your attitudes, ideas, and emotions, even
when their own are different, and will hold your hand when you're scared.
A friend will be honest with you even when it might hurt, and will forgive
you for the mistakes you make. A friend can never disappoint you, and will
support you and share in your glory. A friend shares responsibility when
you have doubts. A friend always remembers the little things you've done,
the times you've shared, and the talks you've had. A friend will bend over
backwards to help you pick up the pieces when your world falls apart.
A friend is one of life's most beautiful gifts.

Remember the first day of the first year of the first time in your life
you started your journey to getting old,
Remember the roommates, the fears, the tears, the nerves, setting up the
room, taking it apart and then rearranging it all over again,
Remember the first guy (girl) who caught your eye, that same guy (girl)
who you will still remember as your first college crush,
Remember attempting to keep in touch with high school friends, and
succeeding until you realized what a phone bill REALLY meant,
Remember promising to never change, but then realizing that's an
impossible promise to keep when high school has passed and you've
moved on,
Remember those first friends you shared your fears with, who soon became
acquaintances,
Remember those neighbors and classmates, who ended up becoming your
closest friends,
Remember holding back the tears on those days when you just wanted to be
home again, to feel safe again,
Remember those days you felt you couldn't relate to ANYONE, you felt you
had no place, and just calling home would make it worse,
Remember those bonding nights, when you never felt closer to a certain
person, and how that closeness creates ties that never die,
Remember how you never realized the importance of family, until you
didn't see them everyday,
Remember telling friends the deepest secrets of your life, and knowing
they'd remain secrets,
Remember the craziness of the dorm, getting sudden bursts of energy and
looking for people, even total strangers, to harass,
Remember pulling all nighters, and never thinking they were as bad as
they sounded until you actually lived through one,
Remember when your closet stretched throughout the whole floor and you
never had to worry about a lack of clothes anymore,
Remember how over breaks you had the chance to step back and really see
the friends you made and the memories shared, and you were satisfied,
Remember thinking HOW MUCH your life has changed in just months,
Remember that dream guy (girl), you thought about so much, who when he
finally opened his mouth, changed your opinion of him forever,
Remember how that girl (guy) you once lived for soon became a joke and
an excuse for you and your friends to laugh at yourself,
Remember the times, never forget them, even the little ones can hold the
greatest meaning,
Remember to never lose touch with those friends you've made here at
college, because you have all changed and grown enormously together,
and that is something very sacred to be shared,
Remember you are only here for a short while, the time flies before you
realize it, so make it last, make it memorable, make it the best time
of your life, and make the best memories that you can carry with you
for the rest of your days,
Remember this doesn't last forever so never let a day go by without
living it to the fullest,
Remember to nevrr let a day go by without a laugh,
Remember to love the ones you love, life isn't forever,
Remember the laughs, let them echo in the back of your mind,
Remember to love your friends, whether they come, go, love you or hurt
you, NEVER let anyone go,

And always remember, when you leave here in four years you are leaving
with much more than you walked in here with.

Thoughts of you.....
One of the most special places in my heart will always be saved for you.
You....
the one person I can always talk to;
the one person who understands.
You....
for making me laugh in the rain;
for helping me shoulder my troubles.
You...
for being a friend in spite of myself,
and always putting me back on my feet again.
You....
for giving me someone to believe in;
someone who lets me know that there really is goodness and kindness and
laughter and love in the world.
You...
for being one of the best parts of my life, and proving it over and
over again.
For all this,
I thank you
and wish you to remember you are always in my thoughts.

It is a person with whom you dare to be yourself
Your soul can be naked with her
She seems to ask of you to put on nothing, only to be what you are
She does not want you to be better or worse
When you are with her, you feel as a prisoner feels
Who has just been declared innocent
You do not have to be on guard
You can say what youthink, so long as it is genuinely you
She understands those contradictions in your nature
That lead others to misjudge you
With her you breathe freely,
You can avow your little vanities and envies and vicious sparks
Your meanness and absurdities and,
In opening them up to her, they are lost,
Dissolved on the white ocean of her loyalty
She understands, you do not have to be careful
You can abuse her, neglect her, tolerate her
Best of all you can keep still with her
It makes no matter
She likes you-she is like a fire that purges to the bone
She understands, she understands
You can weep with her, sin with her, laugh with her
Pray with her
Through it all-and underneath-she sees, knows, and loves you
A Friend? What is a Friend?
Just one, I repeat, with whom you dare to be yourself
