A friend is one that knows you as you are, understands where you have been,
     accepts what you have become, and still, gently allows you to grow.

I will look at this closer as Spikey has torn the above to a different meaning
Trust is lost

We Parted in Silence

We Parted in Silence, we parted by night,
sitting at the dinning room table, you standing;
Where the fragrant memories unite,
We met - and we parted forever!

The stars above Told many a touching story,
of Friends long passed to the kingdom of love,
where the soul wears its mantal of glory.

We parted in silence - eyes wet while sitting
that were past controlling;
The pat on the sholder  at the time was consoling.

But those lips that were silent
are as cold as a lonely river;
and that eye, that beautiful spirits shrine,
has shrouded its fire forever.

And now on the midnight sky I look,
and my heart grows full of weeping;
Each star is to me a sealed book,
some tale of that loved one keeping.

We parted in silence - we parted with wet eyes sitting,
in the home of many years;
But the oder and bloom of those by-gone years
shall hang under this roof forever.
