Where you used to be there is a hole in the world, Which I find myself constantly walking around in the daytime, and falling into at night. I miss you like hell.
Friendships, I must say, are far different then all other relationships. Unlike aquaintanceships, friendship is based on love, but unlike lovers and married couples, it is free of jealousy. Unlike children and parents, it knows neither criticism or resentment. Friendship has no status in law. Business partnerships are based on a contract, as is marriage. Even your parents are bound by the law. But friendships are freely entered into, freely given, and freely exercised.
Without friends, noone would want to live, even if he or she is blessed with all other goods. I feel the worse solitude is to live life with out these such friendships. Oh, the blessing it is to have a friend to whom one can speak. Speak freely on any subject; with whos ones deepest, along with most foolish thoughts come out simply and safely. Not to mention the inexpressable comforft you feel with that such a person. Having to neither weigh thoughts, nor measure words, but pouring them all right out, just as they are, chaff and grain together, certain that a faithful hand will take and sift them. Keeping what is worth keeping and then with a breath of kindness, blowing the rest away.
Bring it on wild weather, come sleet or snow, we two will stand together, however you may blow.
