I need faith tonight.
Sometimes people have friends, even more rarely so good friends. But most of the people in the world you will never meet, and most people you see and talk to will never be your friend.
In the world is humanity, and in humanity there is depravity: hatred prompts violence prompts death. Yet in the cacophony and clash of the nations, two may find the rare and strong bond of friendship. In the midst of death, a face of love (as put in Dead Man Walking). If not good circumstances, one has that bond.
There is no way I can replicate the beautiful poetry that has been written about friendship, and there is no way the beautiful poetry can replicate the greatness of actual friendship. But I have known friendship, and tonight I report news that has given my head to pandemonium.
I lost a good friend.
No, they didn’t die.
If you thought boys don’t cry, you were wrong. It may not come as easy, but when the dam breaks, it breaks.

Whoever said boys don’t cry must have been having PMS at the time.
Sometimes even the best of friends must walk on seperate paths. Sadness can be seen as an expression of greiving, or it can be seen as an expression of joy; even better it can be seen as both. I personally find that the best application of saddness is to not only grieve for those who are no longer with us, but to truely celebrate what we did for each other in our ever so short time together.
Faith blinds, acceptance opens a whole new world up for us. I wish you the best mate.
I know the feeling of losing a good friend…. I’m saying a prayer for you.
what I’ve learned is that if they were really your friend, you didn’t really lose them and things will get better between you. If you did really lose them, they weren’t a real friend to begin with, or at least they weren’t a type of “friend” that you really wanted. (of course, I’m assuming of course by “lose” that you mean had a falling out with). anyway, I hope things get better for you!
i don’t really have anything to add to all this,
::thumbs up::
but if you ever need anything…
i gotcha
Everyone has some friends. Someone’s bad friend is another’s good friend. It’s quite hurtful to encounter such bad friends, but they teach one something…
I hope things get better for you, too
i wonder wat’s this about now…….
I’m not going to lie Phil, I read that a few times and even a few of the words you used I had no idea what they meant, didn’t bother looking the up either, because I’m lazy.
I can tell you, I’ve lost a good friend, a best friend more than once. I’m one of those people who don’t believe in best friend necessarily, it seems like a term that is way overrated. Calling someone “best,” it completely blocks out the right of change, and it raises expectations.
Anyways, back to you. I don’t know who you lost, but as hard as it seems now, you’ll get over it. That seems very unsympathetic. What doesn’t kill you will only make you stronger?
That can’t be true… It can’t be…
Gahhh! Drama is hard for head to handle…
Damn… this was completely pointless… Just want to say I care!
