It’s true that we should never take our friends for granted. But be clear about who your friends really are.

They aren’t those people you hang out with from time to time and who then won’t get in contact until you happen to run into them again.

In the times of social websites where the more ‘friends’ you have on your friends list, the better and more popular you supposedly are, the real meaning of friendship can be forgotten.

True friends are always there for us – no matter what happens. You know that a real friend can be relied on when you really need them. Of course events will come up in our lives that mean we may not be in close contact for a while, but that doesn’t mean our closest friends are not in our thoughts.

So how can you let a friend know how much they mean to you? It’s nice to remind our best friends from time to time how treasured they are.

It’s too easy to just assume or take for granted that your best pal will always be there, but if you don’t take the time to nurture your relationships, they will inevitably suffer.

One day it may just happen that your friend comes to believe that you’ve grown apart, that they never hear from you anymore, and that maybe they get more support from their boyfriend or girlfriend, or a new friend they’ve made.

Before you know it, that friendship you always thought would be around is slipping away. So don’t let that happen! The best part is you don’t need a big bank account to impress your friends with expensive gifts. A sweet and easy way of expressing your affection is through a poem.

Here are a couple of possible verses to get you started;

Best friends forever poems:

We’ve shared so much together like best friends do
From laughs to tears and crazy times and the awful moments too
There’s nothing that beats knowing that you’re always there for me
I hope you know I’m here for you too
You make the best company.

You can add a personal touch by including some things that make your friendship unique, such as;

We’ve grown up together and love the same things
You know I hate sad movies and can’t stand it if I don’t win
Times won’t always be perfect but I want you to know
You can always count on me
Wherever you go

Poetry doesn’t have to be ‘great’ poetry to get your message across. Your best friend will love that you’ve taken the trouble to show how much your friendship means to you. Don’t forget, boyfriends or girlfriends will come and go, but best friends are never easily replaced.

If you share the same interests, write about that. Maybe you love the same bands or your friend has helped you when you’ve had family troubles.

There are many reasons friends stick together and chief among them is the mutual appreciation and respect each has for the other. Friends have the power to halve your troubles, they add to your joys and successes and hold a mirror up to who you are.

Don’t risk losing those ‘golden’ friendships, the long-lasting kind that are based on a history of sharing life’s ups and downs, because without them we lose a part of ourselves. If a little poetry can help brighten your friend’s day, then it’s a moment well spent!
