What is the meaning of friendship?

by Angelica - Sagittarius

If a friend is a single soul
roaming in 2 different bodies
then what is the meaning of what we have?
If you can think aloud in front of a friend
and never have regrets
then why does that not apply to you?
If a friend is someone who walks in
when others walk out
Then why are you always walking out?
If friendship is much more delicate
than it's counterpart, love
then why do you break my heart as well as my soul?
If a friend can tell you things
that you don't even want to tell yourself
Then why do you tell me what I already know?
If friendship needs as much handling
as any other fragile or precious thing
then why do you throw it around like the dogs ball?
If you can never regret
Sharing a smile with a friend
Why are you always frowning?
If a friend is a gift 
that you give yourself
Why do we feel so Burdened with you?
If a friend is someone who knows all about you
yet likes you anyway
Why are you always complaining about who I am?
If a life without a friend
Is like a life without the sun
Why do I feel in darkness?
If friends show their love
in times of happiness
why are you just love, no friendship?
If friendship is tied
with an invisible gold bow
Why do I feel like ours has been peeked into and wrapped back up again?
If it's like holding hands with the universe
when you talk to your friend
Why do I feel so confined when you speak?
If friendship is the only cement
that holds the world together
why do I feel the Earth crumbling under my feet?
If it's better to be confined by a wall of friends
than enclosed by a wall of solitude
Why would You take the walls anyday?
If friends are like Diamonds,
precious and rare
Why do you treat us like Leaves, found everywhere?
If out of all the bonds that bind
Friendship is the strongest
why is it your held down by fear, not friends?
If friendship is love
that's sprouted silver wings
Why are you so level-headed?
If you can find friendship
Where you least expect it
Why do you look in the most common places?
If sitting in silence with a friend
can speak volumes
Why do you speak at all?
