How Do You?

How do you tell a friend that you are worried about them?

That you think that they are not making good decisions right now.

That it scares you to see them like this.

You know that you will be there for them, but how do you make them see that?

How do you tell them so they don't get mad?

Do you tell them straight up so they deny it saying they are ok?

It's complicated no matter who you are.

Its hurts to see your friends like this.

You don't want to push them away because you have a special bond.

So how do you tell someone you love, this?

There is no easy way.

If I Could Tell You

When I see you in the morning
it brightens up my day
there are so many thoughts on my mind
so many words I want to say

I want to tell you how I feel
but the words I can not find
they're all mixed up with my thoughts
that are running through my mind

I've been keeping it locked up
because I know there's not a chance
you never look my way
you don't even take a glance

You don't even know you're doing this
toying with my heart
I wish I could just tell you
but I don't know where to start

Should I tell you how much you mean to me
or how bad I want to be with you
if I were to say these things
how would you react, what would you do

Would you never talk to me again
would you never look my way
that would just bring me back
to where I am today

Then I'd start all over
and choose a different route
to make you understand
my feelings that want out

I don't know what to do
or even how to say
maybe I should lock it up
and keep myself away

My heart would ache even more
but maybe for the good
I just really want to tell you
only if I could.

i did tell

By Kahlil Gibran

A friend who is far away is sometimes much nearer than one who is at hand. Is not the mountain far more awe-inspiring and more clearly visible to one passing through the valley than to those who inhabit the mountain?

Without You

All we'll ever be is friends.

This I'm still trying to accept.

It shouldn't be this way.
You should be mine and only mine.
I've wanted to tell you, but I just can't.

You aren't the sweet girl I once knew.
You've turned into a beast.
And there's absolutely nothing I can do.

That night changed everything.
When he told you he loved you,
You abandoned me as if I didn't matter.

Now I'm sitting here alone in the dark,
watching the old you slowly die.
And watching me die too.

This pain lingers around my heart.
I can't live without you.
And you don't even know...

You never seem to notice...
How I cringe when you kiss him.
Or the reason why I despise him.

You never seem to notice...
The way I've protected you.
Or the way I admire you.

And most of all,
You never seem to notice...
The way I love you.

What Is A Friend

A good friend is someone

who care about you

they are someone who will be

there when you're down

A good friend is someone

who's willing to help you

when you are in a little trouble

that's hard to get out

A good friend is someone

who you can talk to

and trust with your problems

in not telling anyone else

A good friend is someone

who will come and stop

you from taking your life

and sit down to show you

all of the good things

to live for

That's What A Good Friend Is

Every time I think of you..

Just how much do I think of you???

If every time I think of you a rose would sprout…
Then in a rose bush would I be walking about
If every time I think of you a grain of sand would form…
Then in a desert would I have wandered forlorn
If every time I think of you a drop of rain would fall…
Then in a flood would I be engulfed
If every time I think of you a tree would grow…
Then a forest would I have to show 
If every time I think of you a drop of water would evaporate…
Then all the seas would be a bed-barren and desolate
If every time I think of you snow would melt…
Then avalanche upon avalanche from snow capped peaks would proceed
If every time I think of you a leaf would fall…
Then we would be in permanent Fall
If every time I think of you a blade of grass would thrive…
Then the land a green carpet, would I contrive

If every time I think of you an sms would I send…
I’m afraid you’d think my head needs a mend
For every minute of the day and night would be accompanied by a beep...
Thereby making it cumbersome for you to sleep…
Then bundle upon bundle would I have to spend…
Knowing that it would be worth it all in the end…
Just to bring that warm glow on your countenance…
Would be worth all the pennies spent..

If every time I think of you would earn me a rand…
Then I would indeed be a very wealthy man
If every time I think of you would cost me a dollar…
Then truly would I be a pauper
But…
A happy one indeed..
Why? you ask almost in distress…
Because it’s the priceless thought of YOU I possess…

I AM HERE

If you need a laugh, I am here.
If you need a hug, I am here.
If you need a shoulder to cry on, I am here.
If you need someone to support you, I am here.
If you need to feel cared for, I am here.
If you need someone to listen, I am here.
If you need to hear that someone loves you, I am here.
If you need to feel wanted, I am here.
If you need to talk, I am here. 
If you need a friend, I am here.

You and Me

I think of you.
I dream of you.
I need you.
I want you.
I feel you.
I see you.
I smell you.
I hear you.
And now that you're not here,
I've realized I don't like you.
I love you.
I can feel your breath on my skin.
I can hear your voice in my head.
I can see your eyes gazing at me.
I can smell the scent of your skin.
I can imagine your heart,
beating in synche with mine,
I wish it was just you and me,
how it used to be.

God: In a min.

He who knows

He who knows not and knows not that he knows not is a fool; avoid him. He who knows not and knows that he knows not is a student; teach him. He who knows and knows not that he knows is asleep; wake him. He who knows and knows that he knows is a wise man; follow him
