Who is your friend?

Will you be my friend? - Would you like to be my friend?

There are different levels of friendship. Casual. Romantic. Platonic. Soulmate. Penfriend. Internet friend. What does a friend mean to you....just someone whom you would like to talk to when you are in the mood. Or when you have no other work. Or when no one else is around to talk to you? For me... A friend is someone I can feel in my heart As I enter each new day A friend is some one who though he does not see me with his eyes Will still feel me with his heart A friend is someone who will ease my aching heart And take away my pain A friend is someone who will wipe away my tears And help me face my fears A friend is someone who will go that extra mile To make me smile A friend is someone who will stand by my side When things dont go right A friend is someone who knows all about me AND STILL LIKES ME

Hi Mayka very nice post and sweet discussion More over u narrated the Meaning of Friends very well, really appreciate that To Me Friend is not a PASS TIME that u look for him when u r free or Bore Rather to me friend is the person u look for when u r in trouble, and ur eyes looking for only friends face. Ans to me either u meet them or not, u talk to them or not, u r in contact them or not, still u feel u r with them and they are with u and u never feel distances Take care

Good morning! I have a lot of friends whom I have never met but they are still very close to me and I often feel their presence on the net. And I know they are just an email or a phone call away from me.

Hi mayka ,you r really gifted and its really wonderful to be able to write poetry on any topic you can think off...!!!! For me friendship is mutual give and take,caring and sharing,and I agree with you its multidimensional....I maintain different levels of friendship with different people based on our frequency of interaction,and the way we vibe with each other....etc.And now the virtual world has opened for us a whole new world of friendship crossing goegraphical,national and even language barriers. I love to interact with my friends,and try to keep in touch with most of them through telephone and internet .And mayka dear,you are already in my friend's list..

I have made quite a lot of friends in this virtual world and am enjoying communicating with them. Am in touch with many of them including you thru the net and we chat everyday because I am online the whole day.

I feel that only the person who would still like me after knowing all my drawbacks could be a good friend. Atleast I dont have to hide anything from such a person and can just be my normal self without pretending about anything.

Yes mayka a friend is exactly what you have said. A friend calls my mother mum when others call her mrs.....A friend comes to my house, opens fridge and serves a drink while others sit and get served. A friend does things I do but better, a friend cries with me and screams with me. A friend is everything. A friend tell you off when you have messed up and corrects you.

It is very rarely we get this kind of friends and when we do meet them we have to treasure them.

I treasure our friendship! And am happy everytime I hear from you. I once used to think that a friend is only those people we know physically or atleast we know their faces.......i was wrong then.

a friend is some one that will understand and care for you and be there for you no matter what.. will be happy to share your happiness and tears.. will value more than you feel you are worth and not hurt you or lie to you.. some one that you would die for and them you..

Hi Mam, whenever i read these like topics, i still believe that there are some persons in this world who still expects true friendship from others. because once i had thought that peoples just quit fly off when they get a new one or their work is being finished from their friend. in my contacts, many relations had vanished from me by showing false mistake on me that i am wrong. but, brutually, i am being honest for the last couple of years after finish playing my villain role. currently i am a learner of stampede wrestling. so fighting is my life & i have much enemies in real life. i was always in expect of real care but i never got it before. but nowadays, i think i am getting ready with sister love. usually, i was much respected person in my contact & this is another reason i am not getting friends easily due to partiality from others. Mam, I totally agree the last line of yours.. "A friend is someone who knows all about me AND STILL LIKES ME" . A tru friend will not got leave his friend when his friend plays negative role in real life. instead of going away from him, he should change his character from bad to good. I was made by this way & i like to thank my friend Sridhar, who is lamborghs here in mylot!

There are a lot of people in this world who can be very good friends. We have to just wait for the right time and make the right choice of friends. And finally it is what you give in a relationship that you receive. Sometimes you receive more than you give and sometimes less. We finally have to respect those who like us for who we are.

Hi frnds, A frnd always helps a frnd in deed,The frndship never breaks ever and ever. F-faithful,R-real,I-intimate,E-earnest,n-nearest,D-dearest. F-feeling of heart R- rememberable I-impresion E-emotional feeling N-nature of land D- doing good S- selfless H-having understanding mind I-importance P-peacefulness. A frnship is like an autograph keep it in your heart like a photograph. Brother,this is a cross road. When thou hast once turned this corner Rhy doubt will dissolve in the sunlight And thy vigour will return. When thou dost inhale the air in the sunlight Thy spirit will be refreshed, Thy weariness gone. I have seen many a pilgrim retrace their feet from this corner, Sad,perplexed and bitter; But i read on thy face That thou art destined for thy goal. Thy faith is not broken, thy courage not gone. call them forth and hold awhile Till thy journey is done. Thou divine messenger, Frend of the lowly, Dwell thou with me in my heart. Be it n poverty or in wealth, Be it in pomp or pain, Be it in darkness or in light, Do thou dwell in my heart as my frnd and guide.
