Raise your glass--

So here is a toast
to friends;
to "just" friends,
to absent friends,
fair-weather friends,
to friends
who were never friends;
to friends
who say they will call
but don't,
to friends
who say forever
but mean a day,
and friends
to whom I'm a last resort--
here's a toast
to friends;
friends with benefits
and friends without,
to friends
who can't remember my name
and friends
who wish they'd never known it,
to friends
of friends
whose friends
have friends
who heard a thing or two,
now no one's talkin' to you...
to friends who call
at 4am
after one or too many beers;
to friends who fall
and only call
when they need something from you...
so here's a toast
to friends;
to "just" friends
to absent friends,
fair-weather friends,
and friends
who were never friends...
