Will you take the Friendship Pledge with me?
Don't say yes until you read it all and agree. It expresses my love for you,
(and I hope yours for me) and my desire for a true commitment of friendship.


To begin, I will accept you just as you are,
and never try to change you,
you must be willing to do the same,
even if I have habits that you dislike.

I will love you unconditionally,
please do the same for me,
after all, real love cannot exist,
if we place rules and restrictions on it.




I promise to be open and honest with you,
as closeness cannot exist without honesty,
let openness and honesty be our foundation,
a lasting friendship is not built on lies.

Sometimes I may say or do something,
that upsets or hurts you,
please believe me when I say I am sorry,
I would not set out to hurt you intentionally.


Please don't ignore me,
or hide from me if I have offended you,
I cannot say I am sorry,
if I do not know that something is wrong.

Don't be afraid to tell me how you feel,
I will do my best to be understanding,
but please remember not everyone,
sees things the same way you do.



Sometimes you may think I don't care,
but please be assured this is not so,
it is just that I may also have a problem,
that I am working through.

Please try and treat me kindly as I will you,
careless words and deeds can hurt deeply,
any unkindness must be remedied quickly,
to avoid further pain and misunderstanding.


I will spend as much time with you as I can,
but sometimes other things need my attention,
show me some patience at these times,
I promise I have not forgotten or abandoned you.

Let us share as much as we can,
and do things for one another,
but remember it does not mean I don't care,
just because I may sometimes say no.



This is my promise of friendship to you, I will read it often
and keep it close, to remember what our friendship means, if you agree,
then please return these words to me.
