I spoke a word in anger To one who was my friend, Like a knife it cut him deeply, A wound that was hard to mend. That word, so thoughtlessly uttered, I would we could both forget, But its echo lives and memory gives The recollection yet. How many hearts are broken, How many friends are lost By some unkind word spoken Before we count the cost! But a word or deed of kindness Will repay a hundredfold. For it echoes again in the hearts of men And carries a joy untold. ↗

I find friendship to be like wine, raw when new, ripened with age, the true old man's milk and restorative cordial. ↗

With girls, friendships are hard because you have to learn to get to a maturity level to love them but not want to be them. ↗
