Real friendship is a sweet fragrance to the heart.

It ignites your love, fuels your faith, and puts a charming smile on your face.

Even if you leave it for days without contact, it still keeps growing without fading.

Its root goes deep into the heart and silently stays there till it is watered again.

Then all of a sudden there's a sparking of a new joy, affection and faith that connects the friends together in a sweet remarkable way.

It's a source of pleasure without explanation. It's a memory of affection without expectation.

And a silent river of a new friendship full of power, love and sound mind.
