What Friends are For

Let's just pass time
by thinking
of their beautiful
smiles.

Let's just count
the hours
since their last
texts.

Let's just smile
to ourselves
and think
about what they said.

Let's just listen
to one another's complaints
because we
are best of friends.

A tidy modern day piece that portrayed what friends are for, now lets get down to writing a chunky piece that portrays some inner feelings and what you can see out there with those feelings, Spring is around the corner everything is being made new, Yours Ian.T
