Are We Friends or Not?

in CCC2 days ago (edited)







A friend is how I see you
You wear the label
It says...
Loyal
Good
Attentive
To me
You are
Honest
Close
Reliable

Friend?
You wonder
When exactly you deserved to be one?
Why
How
Did you became my
Trustworthy
Only
Good for everything
Person
To count on?

Imagination
Is a trick of the mind.

Investing
In connecting
Is what I do
You refuse to.

Life is too short
To go for
One single person,
You say

Let's separate ways
To get most out of life.

The label faints and...
Is blown away by the wind.

Are we friends or not?

A life without is not the end of the world.

A friend is not one who is always with you, but when you see each other it is like you always were, together.
A friend is not one who lives to tell you nice things, but one who, knowing that you are not going to like what he tells you, still remains a friend.

To me a friend is someone who knows without words and present in time of need. I have strong doubts about those true friendships. Friendships has never been so easy since we all have phone, next the option of texting, e-mail and now even chat and video call. What I notice is that the easier it is to stay in touch the fewer people connect.

The more gags we have to save time the more we lie we are busy, but still spemding hours behind the TV or computer staring at a screen.

We take the meaning of friendship very lightly. For us Venezuelans, everyone is our friend, until for some reason, they are no longer.
A friend is an invaluable treasure, I cannot complain, because life positioned me very well in relation to friendship.
He had many companions in life but friends were few, and along the way they stayed behind.
Currently I have two friends, that's all I have left. Unconditional, invaluable, they are my favorite people, apart from my son. Of course.
What we call friends today, thanks to technology, are friendly acquaintances.

Loyalty, sincerity is what represents a friend, an acquaintance comes and goes

Friends should also be present in time of need and be able to listen even if though they have no clue or solution to problems which is very easy today with phone, mail, e-mail, chat, video call. It's just a lack of priorities.

Friends that are not there during the good times only.

Exactly, that represents a friend, he is always willing

A friend never present in need and bad times is according to you always willing? 😲 I believe you should re-read what @emmabritt wrote

Exactly or they show out of the blue if they are in need only for help.

There are friends and there are acquaintances, the difference is, the friend is loyal, the acquaintance is NOT, in fact he is only there in those moments when he can benefit.

I don't agree with you. Friends we know better and an acquintance can be someone you only kniw by face and a few 'hi' and short chats.

I once bumped into a lady who asked me how I was doing (not to good). I had no vlue who she was but she gave me a hand back than and listened more than once. I can not call her a friend since after that episode I never met her again and still don't know het name.
To me she is an acquintance, someone I didn't forget, although most likeky 3 decennial did pass.

There are people kind, attentive and helpful still I will never call them a friend.

There are also who call me a friend while I wouldn't say the same about them.
So 'friend' also comes with a certain feeling.

You are proving me right, an acquaintance comes and goes, you see him or you don't, it is NOT the same as a friend who is always there for you.

Puisi yang sangat indah dan makna yang sangat mendalam

saya tahu mungkin saya bukanlah teman yang baik, tidak ada di setiap saat di butuhkan, saya juga sadar saya banyak kekurangan,namun bagi saya jika sudah menjadi teman maka dia ada di setiap doaku,dan di ingatan ku, aku tidak perlu menjelaskan apa pun.

Karena untuk menjadi seorang teman yang baik tidak perlu di ungkapkan dengan kata-kata, setidaknya saya siap menjadi pendengar walaupun itu membosankan tapi aku tetap berusaha yang terbaik.

Jika saya tidak bisa menolong dengan materi saya akan menolong dengan tenaga atau pun memberikan ide atau jalan keluar jika diperlukan. Karena teman bagi saya bukan tentang materi tapi bagaimana saling mengerti.kurasa seperti itu teman ku, maaf jika aku salah 🙏
