Friendship Poem by Jane Tomlin

It's the greatest gift of all
You will be there when I fall.

My secrets, thoughts, aspirations are locked up in your mind and mine.
I trust you, whatever happens to me you will not speak of them.
And I love you for this.

I would sacrifice myself for you.
You have always been there.
As we get to the end of it all I wonder if I will ever see you again.
Will we grow distant, will I still trust you then as I do now.
Or will we be roommates, best buddies or something more.

I can tell you anything, even the deepest, darkest thoughts that dominate and haunt my soul.
You have always expected honesty from me and you always got it.
All those times you asked 'does my hair look all right' I mostly felt the urge to lie and say yes.
But it pays to be honest (though I don't know whom it pays) .
And you love me for this.

Together our friendship could help us stand up for each other.

And together we will be inseparable.
