And when he is silent your heart ceases not to listen to his heart; For without words, in friendship, all thoughts, all desires, all expectations are born and shared, with joy that is unacclaimed. When you part from your friend, you grieve not; For that which you love most in him may be clearer in his absence, as the mountain to the climber is clearer from the plain.

• God made the world with a heart full of love,
  Then He looked down from Heaven above,
  And saw that we all need a helping hand,
  Someone to share with, who'll understand.
  He made special people to see us through
  The glad times and the sad times, too;
  A person on whom we can always depend,
  Someone we can call a friend.
  God made friends so we'll carry a part
  Of His perfect love in all our hearts.

• But if you love and must needs have desires, let these be your desires: To melt and be like a running brook that sings its melody to the night. To know the pain of too much tenderness. To be wounded by your own understanding of love; And to bleed willingly and joyfully. To wake at dawn with a winged heart and give thanks for another day of loving; To rest at noon hour and meditate love's ecstasy; To return home at eventide with gratitude; And then to sleep with a prayer for the beloved in your heart and a song of praise on your lips.
