They disintegrate like ash
Fluttering away on lofty breezes
I am nothing and they are always something
Something glittery and unattainable
Pieces of a whole that I will never have
Parts of a picture-perfect world that I will never see
There for a split second in time
Then drifting away at warp speed
Friends are often like that
Hold them close while you can

I’m not so good at writing or I’d have said how much I could connect to this thought. Really liked it 👍

Throughout our lifetime we make true friends and friendly acquaintances. The true friends are those who are there for us in good times and bad ones. IMO those are like gold coins in a treasure chest. Keep them dear to your heart whether close or distance miles apart. I’d love to send you a heart. Bummer. My laptop keyboard only allows the smile emoji to depart. Thanks for being a friend! 🙂

This is so true. What a beautiful piece about all of the people that aren’t our relatives. The ones we always need.

Yes, good friends are worth hanging on to. I wrote a poem titled “A Friend”, but quite different to yours.

I’m quite sure that that picture-perfect vision is quite deluded … sadly all too often we think others have the ideal life but all are filled with push and pull!
