Zoning in and out

If desiring friends, do not look for them, 

And they will appear; 

If desiring company, do not demand it, 

And it will be provided;

If desiring to talk, then first you listen, 

And others will too.

I need a Friend, not a friend: 

Someone who can make me feel good, 

Instead of causing trouble. 

I need a Friend, not a friend:

Someone who can help me out, 

Instead of just making me feel good. 

I need a Friend, not a friend:

Someone who can simply be there with me,

Instead of helping me out. 

---

I have many friends,

But am still looking for a Friend; 

friends, come before Friends, 

And before I can get a friend, 

I must learn how to be a Friend:

The soonest way to find a Friend,

Is to become one.
