We have never shared a genuine Smile, <br />a Smile that starts with the lips... <br />then travels up to the eyes, <br />putting a gleam where vacant eyes once were. <br /> <br />We have never shared a Sincere laugh, <br />one that begins way down in the belly... <br />causing it to heave and tighten til it reaches the chest <br />and erupts loadly and uncontrollably out of a open mouth. <br /> <br />We have never really shared, <br />a difficult time that makes us weep, <br />therefore not opening ourselves up to be comforted... <br />those tears bind one to another in amazing ways. <br /> <br />Without sharing these things, <br />we have never never truly experienced, <br />the essence of each other character and true being, <br />or the weakness within that many times we hide. <br /> <br />When we laugh, cry or Smile, real Smiles, <br />it says so much about who we are as people. <br />So please, just open the door just enough, <br />to let our aquaintance flow into a 'true' friendship.<br /><br />Shelley L Baxter<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-true-friendship/
