Your friend is your needs answered.
He is your field which you sow with love and reap with thanksgiving.
And he is your board and your fireside.
For you come to him with your hunger, and you seek him for peace.
When your friend speaks his mind you fear not the "nay" in your own mind, nor do you withhold the "ay."
And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart;
For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed.
When you part from your friend, you grieve not;
For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.
And let there be no purpose in friendship save the deepening of the spirit.

For love that seeks aught but the disclosure of its own mystery is not love but a net cast forth: and only the unprofitable is caught.

And let your best be for your friend.
If he must know the ebb of your tide, let him know its flood also.
For what is your friend that you should seek him with hours to kill?
Seek him always with hours to live.
For it is his to fill your need, but not your emptiness.

And in the sweetness of friendship let there be laughter, and sharing of pleasures.
For in the dew of little things the heart finds its morning and is refreshed.

-The PROPHET, by Kahlil Gibran On Friendship

Sometimes it isn't yourself who knows you best. It is those for which whom have know you the longest. Goodtimes and bad. Friends who not only have been there for you but you have had the honor of being there for them. I go to my friends with every msjor decision I have in my life and sometimes I take their advice and sometimes I don't. But, I always listen. For not only do they have my best wishes at heart but know me more than I know myself sometimes. with my life being flung into the chaos that has been the past 3 weeks I am finding refuge in a friend that who has known me for a great while. Someone who has been there for me when all others were not. Someone I trust, rely upon, and respect. In your life you may only find few people who you can equate these words with. I am glad that I found this one.
