True Friends

A true friend cares for you when you’re distressed. 
A true friend fights for you when you’re crushed. 
True friends are hard to find, 
but when you do find one, hold onto them. 
 
Embrace them and never let go 
Say you’re sorry and move on 
Be vulnerable and let the friendship grow 
Be accepting and apologetic, caring and nurturing 
And watch this garden grow. 
 
Don’t be afraid to get hurt. 
Don’t be afraid to show your true self 
 
For when we close ourselves off, 
We lose the love and the faith we could’ve had. 
We will never have the friendships we seek if we can’t allow them in. 
We will never have that love that we strive for.
