As we move through the journey of life,
To have a true friend by my side is a great support and a great comfort.
If I consider you the supreme,
You the divine to be my true friend,
The one who has only benevolence and good wishes for me,
I will never feel alone.
I would always feel supported through the good days and also through the bad days.
The times when I am at the top of the mountain and also those days when I'm walking through the valleys.
You,
My true friend,
Your ear is always open.
You are ever ready to listen to my thoughts,
My ideas,
My experiences.
Whatever I wish to share,
You are ready to listen and respond.
You,
My true friend,
The one who knows my entire story,
The one who watches and with care and compassion responds.
Perhaps the first and most important quality of you,
My true friend,
Is trust to be able to share the deepest secrets within myself,
Knowing that those secrets are safe with you.
As a true friend,
I also find great honesty coming from you.
Sometimes there are things I want to hear,
But sometimes there are also things I need to hear,
Although I may not want to.
And you,
My true friend,
You guide me and remind me when I fall short,
When I make a mistake,
When I do something that is not right,
When I do something that is not good for me,
Not good for others.
As my true friend,
You continue to point me in the right direction,
Which leads to real freedom and real happiness.
And for this,
I thank you.
You look out for me further than I could see by myself.
You,
My true friend,
You are fun to be with.
I enjoy this open-hearted,
Natural conversation with you.
It's not a formal,
It's not an official,
It's not a business relationship.
It is natural.
It is a play of the heart.
And in the company of the true friend,
I can truly be myself and express myself with no pretense,
With no fear.
You,
My true friend,
Are also the only being who truly understands me.
Sometimes there are moments when even I don't understand myself,
But you understand.
But you understand.
And therefore,
There is a silent knowing between us.
No need for me to spend too much time and too many thoughts explaining myself,
But you know and you understand.
When I'm in your company,
You understand.
You pick up the signals.
And to feel understood is a great comfort in today's world of masks,
Smoke,
And mirrors.
To be truly understood and listened to is a sign of respect and deep care.
And you,
My true friend,
Are also the one who is completely loyal in this relationship.
Knowing that whatever I go through,
Whatever I face,
Both the praise and the criticism,
Both the bouquets and the difficulties,
But you,
My true friend,
Are always there by my side.
Your loyalty is unending.
And because of this,
I choose to maintain this deep friendship with you.
And I place you at the most sacred space within my consciousness.
I feel empowered.
I feel accompanied.
And I feel as though I can move forward every day and explore the wonder and the adventure of life.
