"I don't remember how we happened to meet each other,
I don't remember who got along with whom first.
All I can remember is all of us together, always."

The Friendship Page

I love you for the part of me that you bring out.
I love you for putting your hand into my heaped-up heart, and passing over all the foolish and frivolous and weak things which you cannot help dimly seeing there, and for drawing out into the light all the beautiful, radiant belongings, that no one else had looked quite far enough to find.

I love you for ignoring the possibilities of the fool and weakling in me, and for laying firm hold on the possibilities of good in me. I love you for closing your eyes to the discord in me, and for adding to the music in me by worshipful listening.

I love you because you're helping me to make of the lumber of my life not a tavern but a Temple, and of the words of my every day not a reproach but a song. I love you because you have done more than any creed could have done to make me happy.

You have done it just be being yourself.
Perhaps that is what being a friend means after all.
