Friend is often described as someone who helps you when you need, makes you happy, knowing each others without any words and so on. However, it sometimes gets you in trouble, irritates and frustrates you. All I could say about friends is that it is an essential in your life.

I'm your friend.
But...,when you feel sad, I can't remove your pain.
If I say,"I understand your grief.",
It will be a lie.
Because I'm not you.
I'm so helpless,so I feel a pain.
Only one thing I can...,
to offer my sympathy.
Because you're my friend.

Friends are ones of the most near existences to us. So we assume that we have understood all about them. But if you really want to understand them, why don't you place a few distances? Humans had not known that the earth shaped orbicular before they've fallen out from it.

My friend has three hands, but no feet.
I wear him all day, even to sleep.
He has become a part of me, and tells me when to do things.
He keeps me on time.
Some say, “Digital is for accuracy, Rolex is for show.”
I love my unshowy friend!

What is a friend, but a stranger you know.
Someone you’d die for to help them to grow.
A frog, a dog, a moth, or a cat.
They will be there when needed, you can count on that!
Freindships are special and magical too.
Maybe someday we'll be friends too!

I was in unrequited love with a girl in my high school days.
Eventually I told her that I want to be friends not a lover because I thought being friends must have been easier than being a lover.
However, her answer was that being friends was without asking permission.

I love writing to my friends, because it has a charm we cannot find in an e-mail. I take a beautifully-illustrated notepaper and throw myself into writing. I spend a precious time thinking of the friend. E-mail made us communicate easily. But it's very important to send a heartfelt letter.

We have got to know better through the volunteer work or other get-together occasions. I realized making friends has nothing to do with age or gender.
