FORGET ME NOT

     

 FORGET ME NOT

When I am in that distant place
Where I must dwell awhile,
How will I miss thy pleasant face,
And its bewitching smile!
Thy image will pursue me there
through each sequestered spot --
And oh that mine thy thoughts may share!
Sweet friend! Forget me not!

In thee 't was mine to recognize
One of no common kind --
One look into each other's eyes,
And mind replied to mind!
And still thy spirit walks with mine,
Though far apart our lot,
And still my soul repeats to thine --
Sweet friend! Forget me not!

How brief our friendship's date appears!
And yet it seems to me
As if we had been friends for years,
As we for life shall be!
And when, by Fate's remorseless will,
I meet the common lot,
I ask not for thy tears -- but still,
Sweet friend! -- forget me not!

A real friend is someone you feel comfortable being your true self around. You can share anything with them, from your most embarrassing secrets to painful personal issues you're going through. This is because a real friend doesn't judge you. They listen and make you feel loved and supported.

 On the other hand, the bond between the two is Friendship, a state of enduring affection, esteem, intimacy, and trust between two people. In all cultures, friendships are important relationships throughout a person's life span.

 When a close friend moves away, it can feel like you're going to lose them. But with some careful maintenance, long-distance friendships can be among the most important relationships in your life, and they're definitely worth the time and energy it takes to keep one going strong.

 When your friend becomes distant from you, it's not unusual to feel twinges of loneliness but, if you make sure to stay in touch online and in person, your relationship has a better chance of working out. The bottom line is life is all about changes and friendships are no different.

 Friendship is a huge theme in children's literature, as many books teach moral lessons on how to be a good friend and how not to be a bad friend. They teach the importance of honesty, trust, mutuality and compassion.

 When authors create strong friendship bonds between characters, it can illustrate how essential these relationships are in life. Being a teen is a complex time and it can often be lonely, even for those who exist in crowded spaces.

 The value of true friendship may lie in both what you get out of it and what you put into it. A true friend may be someone who accepts you unconditionally, helps you grow, supports you in tough times, and increases your ability to love yourself.

 

Who is your best friend? How often do you meet?  Do share it in the comments.
