i get by with a little help from my friends

good friends are like stars, even though you dont see them, they are always there.

i love friends. i have many, and i hope to be one to many more. the one thing about me that i can say with a hint of pride, is that i am the friend to others that i want my friends to be to me. i can talk about anything and everything, or i can just listen when you need it.

recently i recieved a letter from a close friend. he has been away for quite a while (i think a two or three months). but before he left, it was so hard to be there for him, i felt helpless with the problems that he shared with me, and anytime i would try to hang out with him he would most likely blow me of for other things. i wasnt offended, i realized why he was doing the things he was doing, and why he felt the way he felt. nevertheless i couldnt give up on him, i love him, he is my friend, and i wanted to help in any way i could. when he left i cried, i miss him so much. i know its all for the better and i will see him in a bundle of months, but i still miss him, talking to him was always calming with his easy-going personality and advice.

anyway, in this letter he expressed his appreciation for me as a friend, and realized how much he regrets the things that he put before all the people in his life. in his leter i could feel the change that he has made, and even though he is still working to be happy again, i can see the happiness growing into his life again. i remember one night when i knew he needed me most, i made him brownies, and brought them over to his house, then i gave him a hug. its those moments that make a difference. it doesnt matter how much we hang out when everything is fine, it matters when i am there for him when he needs it the most. and thats when he would let me in most of the time, when he NEEDED it.
its amazing how we have best friends, and sometimes we forget how much we miss them until we see them, or talk to them again. i love my friends, and i have so many moments where i take them for granted, and then when i lose them, i feel a gaping whole in my life. i cant stand it. there are those friends that i have done nothing to make them leave, but they left anyway, there are those i pushed away, and then there are those i never intended to be friends with, and yet somehow they come into my life.

and my best friend of all? who is there for me whenever i need it, and even when i dont, trevin. i can tell him anything and he still sees the beauty in me, and i dont get it, and maybe i never will, but i appreciate it so much. i cant imagine ever losing my best friend. thats why i wont.

"With a little help from my friends" -- by the Beatles

What would you think if I sang out of tune,
Would you stand up and walk out on me.
Lend me your ears and I'll sing you a song,
And I'll try not to sing out of key.
Oh I get by with a little help from my friends,
Mmm,I get high with a little help from my friends,
Mmm, I'm gonna try with a little help from my friends.

Do you need anybody?

What do I do when my love is away.
