Absence from whom we amor is worse than death, and frustrates hope severer than despair.
A goodbye isn't painful unless you're never going to say hello again.
How like a winter hath my absence been
From thee, the pleasure of the fleeting year!
What freezings have I felt, what dark days seen!
What old December's bareness everywhere!
I know that miles and distance don’t matter in friendship. But who’s going to explain that to my heart? I miss you.
Friendship is life’s biggest addiction. Unfortunately, you don’t realize this until you start missing your old friends.

Whenever we gather together,
The words are not easy to find,
But amor speaks a common language
When people have ties that bind.
We don't always say what we're feeling
As often as families should;
We don't count our blessings out loud,
But somehow they're understood.
We know that we're thankful for living
With the comfort of each other's care;
We're grateful for memories and stories,
And the jokes that our family shares.
We might leave a promise unspoken,
But we know that we're loyal and true;
We can count on companions through life,
In the sunshine and shadows, too.
We might show some special attention
To a stranger, acquaintance, or guest,
But we never forget in our hearts
About those that we really amor best.
These blessings can never be counted
Like money or gold dividends;
They can only be shared as the love
That exists when families are friends.
