Mysteries Of True Friendship Poem by Oyelakin Gbolahan

I’ll lean on you and you on me,
Then we will be okay.
Friendship is one mind inhabiting two bodies,
One heart inhabiting two bodies.
If my sweetheart is to jump off a bridge,
I wouldn’t jump with her;
I’d be at the bottom to catch her.
Hold a true friend with both hands.
Everyone hears what you say;
Friends listen to what you say;
True and best friends listen to what you don’t say.
A true friend is someone who knows the songs in your heart
And can sing them back to you
When you have forgotten the lyrics.
A true friend is someone who walks in
When the rest of the world walks out.
A true friend is someone you only find with you in the room
When everyone else leaves the room.
A true friend is someone who will never allow
Distance to end their friendship stop caring, being committed,
Loving, being proud of their relationship…
My father used to say that,
When you die, if you’ve got five real friends,
Then you’ve had a great life.
If you should die before me,
Ask if you could bring a true friend home.
If you live to be hundred,
I want to be a hundred minus one day,
So I never have to live without you my sweetheart.
True friendship is like sound health;
The value of it is seldom known until it is lost.
Don’t walk or rush in front of me,
Because I may not follow.
Don’t walk behind me,
I may not lead.
Let’s walk side by side, hand in hand
And be true friends for eternity.
Together we’ll walk the road of destiny to the place of purpose.
We all take different paths in life,
But no matter where we go,
We take a little of each other everywhere.
True friends are God’s way of taking care of us.
Strangers maybe just friends waiting to happen.
True friends are bacons, bits in the salad and bowl of life.
True friendship and real relationship, so sweet.
