• To You Two

  I have this friend. 
  

  
  The kind of friend that you've known for so long that you start picking up each other's habits without really noticing.  Then someone points out how
  

  "you two do so many things just alike"
  and you smile at one another,
  nod,
  and agree,
  "Yeah, I guess we do."
  

  She now carries her cell phone in her back right pocket
  

  and I've started wearing t-shirts and ball caps. 
  

  And it's refreshing.
  

  
  She's the kind of friend that will be mad at me
  and invite me to come over
  all in the same sentence. 
  

  We bicker,
  a lot,
  but it's never so bad that we can't work it out. 
  We're not afraid to tell each other the painful truth and when we're the one receiving it we take it
  without too much of a fuss. 
  

  After all, what's more important:
  the Friendship
  or
  the Argument?
  

  So far we've always chosen the former.
  

  It's hard,
  sometimes.
   Having a friend who's so close
   and knows you so well
  that you can't just get away with saying,
  "I'm fine."
  

   They see through it,
  you know it,
  they know it. 
  

  So you talk about it,
  which can be frustrating. 
  But it's good.
  

  
  

  Most people would probably call us boring because we're content to sit and chat or grab the controllers and take on some video games. 
  

  But that's just us. 
  

  We enjoy being friends in our own way
  and if that means smashing one another into walls while racing down a crowded street in Berlin in our
  "yellow hornet" and "black knight" cars, then so be it.
  (Burnout's our favorite game, so far)
  

  
  Sure, we're not entirely original. 
  Quite a few of our conversations have led back to just quoting movies and our favorite web series. 
  But, hey, that's us.
  
  We go through low points,    just like everyone else.
  

   Usually one of us manages to keep on our feet and help the other out of whatever funk they're in,
  but sometimes
  we both fall. 
  

  Getting up is hard. 
  

  The ground's sometimes slick,
  we're using each other to try and get up,
  which doesn't always work since we're both down,
  plus satan is pretty dang scared of us so he's hitting us with whatever he's got. 
  

  Pain. 
  Depression.
  Frustration.
  

  
  We're a lot alike in more than just some ways.  The more I'm with her the more I see a lot of my own characteristics that I thought were strictly my things. 
  

  But that's okay and good,
  

  because I'm learning how to deal with myself by dealing with her.
  

  It sounds odd, but trust me that's what's happening.
  

  
  

  She's a great friend. 
  Joyous and full of life,
  

  despite what satan does to keep her down. 
  

  I'm proud of her for how strong she is.  Life's been tough for her for a while,
  but she's making it through. 
  

  God's with her and she knows it.
  

  Love you! :)
  
  
  

  I have this friend.
  

  Maybe we're not as close as we'd like to be,
  

  but that's okay right now. 
  

  
  

  She's very dear to me,
  

                          though I don't see her nearly as much as I'd like to.
  

  
  

  She's always smiling,
  unless she's sleeping;).
  She's my dear friend.
  

  She works a lot,
  that's why it's tough for us to get together,
  but we manage to slip in some time every now and again.
  

   And right now,
  that's enough
  

  (mainly because there's not a whole lot we can do to fix it).
  

  
  

  My friend has a beautiful heart. 
  Always willing to give and open up for new people.
  

  I'm not like that,
  but she is
  and I love that.
  

  
  

  We don't really fight much,
  though we do have our disagreements
  and there are times where we both get pretty steamed at one another,
  but we work it out.
  

  She's my shopping buddy. 
  My sunbathing,
                   pool floating,
                                  ice cream slurping companion.
  
  She's fragile too,
  sometimes,
  in different ways. 
  Her heart is always open
  and always tender,
                          but some don't know just how tender. 
  

  It's tough to see her go through hard stuff,
  cause I know her well enough to know how she feels. 
  

  And I love her.
  

  She's the type of friend that's always willing. 
  

  If you haven't seen her in months she'll still be excited and glad to come if you invite her to dinner
  or just to watch a movie. 
  

  And I love her for that.
  

  
  We've had our fair share of adventures over the years. 
  Our goofy moments
  and our serious ones
  are all very precious memories for me.
  

  She's had a hard time recently
  and that's been tough. 
  

  But God's helping her,
  He's holding her tight,
  and He'll always do so. 
  

  I'm there for her too,
  though I think she forgets sometimes,
  but I am here. 
  And it's okay. 
  It'll all work out.
  

  God will be victorious. 
  Trust in that.
  

  I love you. :)
