TO WELHAM

A STONE'S THROW FROM JERUSALEM,
I WALKED A LONELY MILE IN THE MOONLIGHT.
AND THOUGH A MILLION STARS WERE SHINING,
MY HEART WAS LOST ON A DISTANT PLANET THAT
WHIRLS AROUND THE APRIL MOON,
WHIRLING IN AN ARC OF SADNESS.
I'M LOST WITHOUT YOU.
...BUT EVERY STEP I THOUGHT OF YOU,
EVERY FOOTSTEP ONLY YOU.
I'M MAD ABOUT YOU.
-STING.

HERE'S TO FRIENDS.
FRIENDS WHO CALL YOU FIRST THING IN THE MORNING AND LAST THING AT NIGHT.
FRIENDS WHO LISTEN BECAUSE THEY UNDERSTAND JUST WHAT YOU'RE GOING THROUGH.
FRIENDS YOU CAN RELY ON FOR LOVE, CONCERN, SYMPATHY AND SUPPORT.
FRIENDS WHO TALK YOU ON LONG COLD DRIVES AND OFFER YOU THEIR SWEATSHIRT.
FRIENDS WHO WALK YOU THROUGH DARK BATHROOMS AND GARDENS TO SHOW YOU THERE'S NOBODY ELSE IN THERE.
FRIENDS WHO RESPOND TO THE TENSION IN YOUR VOICE IMMEDIATELY.
FRIENDS WHO CRITICISE AND COMPLIMENT YOU HONESTLY-AND THE LATTER MORE THAN THE FORMER.
FRIENDS WHO TELL YOU THEY LOVE YOU,
FRIENDS WHO WORRY FOR YOU,
FRIENDS WHO WAIT FOR YOU,
FRIENDS FULL OF LAUGHTER AND COMFORT.
FRIENDS WHO LOVE YOUR IDIOSYNCRASIES AND CHERISH YOUR FRIENDSHIP.
FRIENDS WHO ARE ALWAYS SUCH AN EGO- BOOST.
FRIENDS WHO IN JUST A FEW DAYS MAKE YOUR WORLD A BETTER PLACE.
HERE'S TO FRIENDS YOU BUG WHEN THEY'RE AROUND, AND MISS WHEN THEY'RE GONE.
FRIENDS WHO EXPLORE AND GET INTO TROUBLE AND LEARN WITH YOU.
HERE'S TO LONG, COLD DRIVES, COLD COFFE AND SINGING ALOUD.
HERE'S TO BAD JOKES
-AND TO FRIENDS WHO NEVER GET THEM.
HERE'S TO COMPANIONSHIP, LOYALTY AND INTIMACY.
HERE'S TO THE BALANCE OF A GOOD FRIEND.
TO FRIENDS
-WITH LOVE.
