* In kindergarten, your idea of a good friend was the person who let you have the red crayon when all that was left was the ugly black one.
In first grade, your idea of a good friend was the person who went to the bathroom with you and held your hand as you walked through the scary halls.
In second grade, your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you stand up to the class bully.
In third grade, your idea of a good friend was the person who shared their lunch with you when you forgot yours on the bus.
In fourth grade, your idea of a good friend was the person who was willing to switch square dancing partners in gym so you wouldn't have to be stuck do-si-do-ing with Nasty Nicky or Smelly Susan.
In fifth grade, your idea of a friend was the person who saved a seat on the back of the bus for you.
In sixth grade, your idea of a friend was the person who went up to Nicky or Susan, your new crush, and asked them to dance with you, so that if they said no you wouldn't have to be embarrassed.
In seventh grade, your idea of a friend was the person who let you copy the social studies homework from the night before that you had.
In eighth grade, your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you pack up your stuffed animals and old baseball but didn't laugh at you when you finished and broke out into tears.
In ninth grade, your idea of a good friend was the person who would go to a party thrown by a senior so you wouldn't wind up being the only freshman there.
In tenth grade, your idea of a good friend was the person who changed their schedule so you would have someone to sit with at lunch.
In eleventh grade, your idea of a good friend was the person who gave you rides in their new car, convinced your parents that you shouldn't be grounded, consoled you when you broke up with Nick or Susan, and found you a date to the prom.
In twelfth grade, your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you pick out a college/university, assured you that you would get into that college/university, helped you deal with your parents who were having a hard time adjusting to the idea of letting you go...
At graduation your idea of a good friend was the person who was crying on the inside but managed the biggest smile one could give as they congratulated you.
The summer after twelfth grade your idea of a good friend was the person who helped you clean up the bottles from that party, helped you sneak out of the house when you just couldn't deal with your
parents, assured you that now that you and Nick or you and Susan were back together, you could make it through anything, helped you pack up for university and just silently hugged you as you looked
through blurry eyes at 18 years of memories you were leaving behind, and finally on those last days of childhood, went out of their way to give you reassurance that you would make it in college as well as you had these past 18 years, and most importantly sent you off to college knowing you were loved.
Now, your idea of a good friend is still the person who gives you the better of the two choices, holds your hand when you're scared, helps you fight off those who try to take advantage of you, thinks of you at times when you are not there, reminds you of what you have forgotten, helps you put the past behind you but understands when you need to hold on to it a little longer, stays with you so that you have confidence, goes out of their way to make time for you, helps you clear up your mistakes, helps you deal with pressure from others, smiles for you when they are sad, helps you become a better person, and most importantly loves you!
Pass on to those friends of the past, and those of the future...and those you have met along the way...
[crying yet? oh there's more]
Thank you for being a friend. No matter where we go or who we become, never forget who helped us get there.
There's never a wrong time to pick up a phone or send a message telling your friends how much you miss them or how much you love them.
You know who you are, pass it on to someone who you want to remind.
So send this to all your friends and maybe those who aren't but just watch and see who sends it back.
If you love someone, tell them. Remember always to say what you mean.
Never be afraid to express yourself. Take this opportunity to tell someone what they mean to you. Seize the day and have no regrets.
Most importantly, stay close to your friends and family, for they have helped make you the person that you are today and are what
it's all about anyway. Pass this along to your friends. Let it make a difference in your day and theirs.
The difference between expressing love and having regrets is that the regrets may stay around forever. *
* Some friends are so precious that they make you smile more times then there are stars in the sky, they are more precious then the most priceless diamond, and they mean more to you then all of the countless memories that the two of you share in common in your hearts.. *
* Some people don't catch on, they rather just pretend..While things are going smooth, they smile and call you 'friend'. Funny how you never know who cares until it hurts, and when it's over, does it matter who blew off who first? *
* Some people have a large circle of friends while others have only friends that they like. *
* The only people who are worth being friends with are the people who like you
as you are. *
* There is a defining moment in each friendship when you find out if they are your true friend or not...after that you either have a real friend or one less thing to worry about *
* During adolescence, friends bring an intimate quality of support that can't
be provided by any adult. *
* I'm so scared of everything. I'm scared of how things will turn out when I'm
gone. We may say our friendship will last forever. And I do believe our
friendship is strong and will never fail because neither one of us will allow
it to, but we have no control over the distance that stands between us. It
scares me knowing that you are going to be laughing and smiling with someone
else other than me. And what scares me the most is that someone is
going to take my space as your best friend. I can't bare the thought that
when I'm sad and crying, someone esle is going to be here wiping my tears
from my face. I know a time is going to come soon when we have to part, but
I ask myself why can't it be later and not now. Our lives are going to
change once we part, and I fear that so much. *
* Through All The Lies,The Sad Goodbyes
The Things We Hide,The Tears We've Cried
Through Odds & Ends, We've Been Friends
Though Times Have Passed,The Memories Last
So Always Remember,We'll Be Friends forever *
* Good friends are like stars, you dont always see them but you know they're always there. *
*Sometimes, no matter how much faith we have, we lose people. But you never forget
them. And sometimes, it's those memories that give us the strength to go on*
*maybe I'm a little crazy but laughing out loud makes the pain pass by. Cry later, but for
now, let's enjoy the laughter. *
*The two hardest things to say in life are hello for the first time and goodbye for the last. *
* What sweetness is life, if you take away friendship? Robbing life of friendship is like
robbing the world of sun. *
* I'm sorry, did my back hurt your knife? *
* Distance can never seperate two hearts that really care, for memory spans miles and in seconds we are there. We hear the voice, we see the smile, and deep down we know that true friends remain a part of us wherever we may go. *
* If I fall along the way
Pick me up and dust me off
If I get too tired to make it
Be my breath so I can walk
If I need some of your love again
Give me more than I can stand
When my smile gets old and faded
Wait around I'll smile again *
* The better part of one's life consists of their friendships. *
* Every New Beginning Comes From Some Other Beginings End. *
* I didn't ask for it to be over, but then again I never asked for it begin
for thats the why it is with life as some of the most beautiful days come
completely by chance, but even the most beautiful days eventually have their
sunsets. *
* Goodbyes make you wonder, they make you realize what you have had, what
you've lost, and what you've taken for granted. *
* It's so hard to say goodbye to you. My heart knows the words, they just won't pump up to
my lips. *
* I cannot say goodbye to those whom I have grown to love, for the memories we have
made will last a lifetime and never know a goodbye. *
* Our memories of yesterday will last a lifetime. We'll take the best, forget the rest and
some day we'll find that these are the best of times. *

* I was just wondering if you'd come along to hold up my head when my head won't hold on. I'll do the same if the same is what you want, if not I will go alone. *
* Do what you will, always walk where you like, your steps, do as you please I'll back you up. *
* I'll be there for you...
If you've got secrets you want to tell, we can talk all day long. If your dreams get broken somehow, I'll remind you that you belong. If you need somepleace to hide, you can hold my hand for a while. If your sky begins to fall, I'll stay w/ you till you smile. Whenever you need some space, there's my room- you can take it. If someone breaks your heart, together we'll unbreak it. When you feel sad or empty inside, I'll show you
you're not alone. If you get lost out there, I'll come and take you home. I'll go w/ you somewhere else, when you need to get away. And when nothing seems to be going right, and you need a friend.....
I'll stay. *
* Your real friends aren't necessarily the people you share the most time with....but the people that you share the most memories with. *
* When I hear a song you would've sung to me or a joke you would have laughed, I cry and cry because I don't know when I'll here you sing or laugh again. *
* It's funny how you can be mad at someone one moment and want to hug them the next. *
* You're the blue in my sky,
You're the wings that help me fly,
You're the only star I see
You're what makes me, ... me. *
* A laugh is a smile that bursts. *
* Always know in your heart that you are far bigger than anything that can happen to you. *
* Things fall apart so that things can fall together. *
* In each of us, there is a little of all of us. *
* Real generosity is doing something nice for someone who will never find out.*
* Don't dream a dream, live a dream and let reality sleep. *
* We cannot forever hide the truth about ourselves, from ourselves. *
* When the tides of life turn against you, and the currentupsets your boat, don't waste your tears on what might have been, just get onyour back and float. *
* At times we can feel as if we are too weak to live, yet too strong to die. *
* A turning point in one's life is when they realize they've lost something that they never really had. *
* I am afraid to tell you all of who I am, because if I tell you, you may not like it, and it's all I have. *
* The truly innocent are those who not only are guiltlessthemselves, but who think others are too. *
* Being a woman is a terribly difficult task, since itconsists principally in dealing with men. *
