Firstly I give my mind,
For it constantly dwells on you.
I searched and I did find,
One whose differences were few.
You share my desire,
My wants, my passions, and my needs.
You've kindled a great fire;
Aroused the beast within the reeds.
Second I give my heart,
From my chest it was gently clawed.
You tore it all apart,
And reforged it, new and unflawed.
Ravenously you fed,
Consuming what little I had.
My resolve is now dead.
For your persistence I am glad.

"The better part of one's life consists of his friendships."
"If, out of time, I could pick one moment and keep it shining, always new, of all the days that I have lived, I'd pick the moment I met you."
"Friendship is the only cement that will ever hold the world together."
"The glory of friendship is not the outstretched hand, nor the kindly smile, nor the joy of companionship; it is the spiritual inspiration that comes to one when he discovers that someone else believes in him and is willing to trust him with his friendship."
"Am I not destroying my enemies when I make friends of them?"
"Friendship is love with wings."
"If you judge people, you have no time to love them."
