"The friend who can be silent with us in a moment of despair or confusion, who can stay with us in an hour of grief and bereavement, who can tolerate not knowing... not healing, not curing... that is a friend who cares." - Henri Nouwen
Friendship is a word that carries love, happiness, peace, understanding and many others as it's synonyms. Friendship, one must always guard. It has the power to unshackle hearts from misery, truly. It is the key that unlocks all things lovely. It is a note that creates beautiful music. It sings songs of loyalty. It is the anchor to our worries. And it's magical. =)
It's amazing how simple words make a profound point, like William Shakespeare did, "A friend in need, is a friend indeed." I could go on and on quoting great personalities with their wisdom, at the risk of never ending this post =)

Friendship gives you the freedom to be yourself and Rumi's words explain it so well, "With friends you grow wings." Indeed, we wish to soar, we wish to fly when we have a friend by our side. We laugh with all our heart, we live without the fear of being judged. We fight, we shout. But we also grow. Grow into a human, with a strong essence, because, "A true friend never gets in your way unless you happen to be going down." - Arnold H. Glasow
It is the beauty of giving without expecting. Agreed, human nature is such that it has to fight hard the urge to get, and that is alright, for Friendship means a little give, a little take. It means to never take for granted what others do for us, for it will only be understood as abuse, and rightly so. There's so much to this lovely bond, it's ups and downs, it's sugar and spice. Here is an ode to amitie =)

When you're weary, feeling small,
when tears are in your eyes,
I will dry them all.
I'm on your side,
oh, when times get rough,
and friends just can't be found,
like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down.
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will lay me down.
When you're down and out,
when you're on the street,
when evening falls so hard, I will comfort you.
I'll take your part,
oh, when darkness comes,
and pain is all around,
like a bridge over troubled water, I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will ease your mind.
Sail on silver girl, sail on by,
your time has come to shine,
all your dreams are on their way,
see how they shine.
Oh, if you need a friend,
I'm sailing right behind.
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will ease your mind.
Like a bridge over troubled water, I will ease your mind.
- Simon & Garfunkel
