For a friend

Song for a friend --Jason Mraz

Well you're magic he said
But don't let it all go to your head
Well I bet if you all had it all figured out
Then you'd never get out of bed
No doubt
All the thing's that I've read what he wrote me
Is now sounding like the man I was hoping
To be
Keep on keeping it real
Cause it keeps getting easier indeed

He's the reason that I'm laughing
Even if there's no one else
He said, you've got to love yourself

You say, you shouldn't mumble when you speak
But keep your tongue up in your cheek
And if you stumble on to
You better remember that it's humble that you seek
You got all the skill you need,
Individuality
You got something
Call it gumption
Call it anything you want
Because when you play the fool now
You're only fooling everyone else
You're learning to love yourself

Yes you are

There's no price to pay
When you give and what you take,
That's why it's easy to thank you
You...

Let's say take a break from the day
And get back to the old garage
Because life's too short anyway
But at least it's better then average
As long as you got me
And I got you
You know we'll got a lot to go around
I'll be your friend
Your other brother
Another love to come and comfort you
And I'll keep reminding
If it's the only thing I ever do
I will always love
I will always love you
Yes you
I will always, always, always, always love
I will always, always love
I will always, always love, love

Climb up over the top
Survey the state of the soul
You've got to find out for yourself whether or not you're truly trying
Why not give it a shot?
Shake it
Take control and inevitably wind up
Find out for yourself all the strengths you have inside of you

This is a song for a friend.
It is filled with advice and reminders from a great friend.
Friends are truly another kind of love.
It's like being pressured for nothing at all, especially between best friends.
No pressure to fill in the silence with nervous laughter or a witty remark.
No discomfort in silence.
Even if I don't have much to give, I do love my friends although I never say it. It's weird to say those 3 words to friends. Words like, "I love you" or "I miss you" seem more appropriate for a lover.
But actually, those are exactly the feelings that I have.
I miss our long talks, our discussions about anything.
Time seem to fly past but filled with nothing worthwhile.
Friends give you a perspective of situations that sometimes you've never thought of before.
It is a good thing to have an honest friend, who'll tell you that you're about to do something stupid.
Well, two heads is better than none ;)
I truly treasure you in my life, you know who you are.
But I won't say it in person, biasalah, ego...hehe.

A sudden thought: Ego can only get you so far...until eventually the road ends and humility begin...in all honesty, there's no place for a misplaced ego. We're all just ordinary people.
So, I miss you and I thank Allah for this :)

A story of friendship

Horror gripped the heart of a World War-I soldier, as
he saw his lifelong friend fall in battle. The soldier
asked his Lieutenant if he could go out to bring his
fallen comrade back.

"You can go," said the Lieutenant," but don't think it
will be worth it.

Your friend is probably dead and you may throw your
life away.

The Lieutenant's words didn't matter, and the soldier
went anyway.

Miraculously, he managed to reach his friend, hoisted
him onto his shoulder and brought him back to their
company's trench. The officer checked the wounded
soldier, then looked kindly at his friend.

"I told you it wouldn't be worth it," he said. "Your
friend is dead and you are mortally wounded."

"It was worth it, Sir," said the soldier.

"What do you mean by worth it?" responded the
Lieutenant.
"Your friend is dead."

"Yes Sir," the soldier answered,
"but it was worth it because when I got to him, he was
still alive and I had the satisfaction of hearing him
say...."Jim. ..I knew you'd come."
