-What are friends for, someone once asked.
-An unspoken smile, soft laughter
-Sharing the last piece of the candy
-Understanding each other.

-Friends don't need definitions
-The most important thing friends are for is LOVE.

If I were you I&#039;d promise to live life for all it&#039;s worth, take all you&#039;ve been given and leave your mark upon this Earth. Trust your heart to show you everything you need...and if you were you, I&#039;d fall in love with me. -unknown<br /> <br /> <br /> fear not, for I am with you;<br /> <br /> <br /> be not dismayed, for I am your God;<br /> <br /> I will strengthen you, I will help you,<br /> <br /> <br /> I will uphold you with my righteous right hand.<br /> (Isaiah 41:10 ESV)
