What is friendship?
Are there set guidelines, you know, you have to talk to someone at least 3 times a week and know what their favorite color is?
Does that make you a friend?
Or does a friend know how to make you smile.
How to make you laugh.
How to brighten your day with the simplest words.
Does a friend have to call every other day?
Do the conversations have to last at least 5 minutes?
Or can a friends talk maybe once a week and still be fine?
Can friends go a couple months and still say they're fine?
I know friends that have, and feelings were never lost.
Friends from high school that I don't talk to often doesn't mean I've forgotten them.
Doesn't mean I don't still think about them or wonder how they are.
Friends are not so easily forgotten.
If they are...then they were never truly friends.
Do real friends say things to intentionally hurt the other?
Do real friends push another away when they try to straighten things out?
Do real friends claim to feel one way, when in fact they feel the complete opposite?
Do real friends insult those they claim to have cared for most?
I think not. All friends have their good times and bad, but in the end, it all boils down to one simple ingredient: friendship. Friendship is never truly lost...unless they were never really friends. So why is it that my heart breaks over someone who was never truly my friend??

Will you be my friend?
Happy Valentine's
I am not as stone hearted as you might think babe. Not one day has passed ever since then when I haven't thought of you or cherished the memories I have of you. Countless times I look at our pictures. But it didn't help me in any ways. I have tried to patch things up,forget the past and move on. That doesn't mean I don't remember you or don't love you as much. As they say, you cannot clap one handed, and I got no response from you. So the only option I had was to let it go, and I did. But you'll be a fool not to realize that not one thing has changed about the way I feel for you...may it be as my sweetheart or as as my best friend!! You were and will be the most beautiful thing that ever happened to my life, and I'll always want to keep it that way.
The post that you liked on my blog is purely a reflection of what I felt!!
I don't expect you to call me 3 times a week, neither do I expect you to know my favorite color. I wasn't angry for you walking over me...NEVER...and neither was I angry for you not keeping in touch with me...NEVER...However what really upsets me is that you never really tried to understand what I meant. I said something, and you assumed something else. I never really got an opportunity to express what lied beneath my heart. I tried at times but I failed.Friends listen to one another, they understand and above all they don't judge each other. I am not writing on your blog to tell who's right or who's wrong. Your god is witness to the fact that I dialed your number the day I read your post on you suffering through another attack. He also is a witness to the fact that I have shed not one but many tears looking at those snaps!! There were times when we both were equally hurt. But I tried to be there for you...forever...but I was tossed not once but twice...yet that didn't make me change my opinion about you. But when the candle is burning and your finger gets burned once, you rarely try the stunt twice...Yet why do you think I keep coming back? If you can answer that to your self, it will answer all the questions you raised in this poem.
Take care...

nash i texted you that day because i wanted to see you but didn't want to wake you. i realized it was early and thought id text cuz then you could ignore it if you were still sleeping. you didn't respond for some time so i assummed u were sleeping and started back. by time our last text occurred, i was less than 10 minutes from my dorm and that put me about 25 minutes from your place. it was early, i was tired, and didn't want to walk all the way back, i figured i would just see you another time. had you just told me you got up just for me, i would have come, but i didn't expect to get blasted for it. that really hurt my feelings that day and then you never called again. that was it. granted, i did have my phone confiscated for a few weeks cuz i had too many texts messages so maybe you called then, i don't know.
also, you knew exactly when i was leaving columbus, you could have looked online and it would have told you. i left and never came back. well no, i came back christmas eve to clear out my room. merry christmas to me right? i didnt even tell most people on my floor i was leaving, i told jess she could explain if she wanted after i was gone. so theres my emotional rollar coaster and then you wrote those things on my blog like you were someone else and that really hurt too. so why do you think it took me 3 months to work everything out? i was made and hurt by a lot of things you said, i wasn't exactly ready to call you up and be like, hey, hows it goin? i realized later though that you're one of my best friends and while i was hurt, i still cared too much about you to throw it all away. so then i write and i get blasted all over again. not a good trend here you see? so i don't know when i walked over you, im sorry you feel that way, it wasn't intentional. you were tossed twice as a boyfriend because it just didn't work. that doesn't mean i dumped you as a friend. in fact, i have stayed friends with every single one of my ex's (sans one) because we still recognized what a great person the other was, even if we weren't dating them. i don't like though on your blog you tell me to move on and you don't really care, and then you come on mine and suddenly want to be friends again.
you decide what you want but you know i'll always be here for you if you need me.
do u even need my decision over this? I thought u always knew what my answer wld be!!
Incase u need it in writing..
I value u as a friend...n I want it to remain it that way...I just don't want the blame game, and the moment it heads in that direction, I feel like withdrawing...
Anyways...lets just cut this over here...n be normal friends!!
Now do you want me to tickle you???
:)
