Friendship is ....

Friendship is ......

Your favourite book,
Read from cover to cover,
You know every word and paragraph,
Like you know no other.

That comfy sweater,
Worn to death, despite the holes,
Warm and cosy, snuggly and safe.

A cup of tea, hot and sweet,
First thing in the morning,
Last thing at night.

Your favourite film,
Watched time and time again,
The smiles and tears,
Every last refrain.

A simple phone call,
Just to know someone is there,
A friendly voice, a girly chat,
Hopes and fears you share.

A hug,
Just holding and feeling,
Giving love in return,
Knowing you're not alone.

All these things are friendship,
Unconditional and real,
Like someone holding your hand,
Every step of the way,
Until the end of time.
