Friends are there when the tides are high,
when a helping hand is needed to cross the beaches.
Friends have comfort in their voice and compassion in their eyes
and you know it's saved just for you.

Friends hold you, listen to you and let you have your peace
without needing you to ask them to do so.

Friends can fight
and it doesn't matter.
Friends can laugh
when there's nothing to laugh at.
Friends cry together, smile together
but they won't die together.

One will always be by the other's side,
and watch as their last light fades.
One will always grieve,
because that's how it's meant to be.
One will always have their memory passed on through another,
because a true friend will never let that memory die.
