A Real Friend

For so long I've struggled to find people that are really my friends. I've been let down, back stabbed, betrayed, and spit upon too many times to count. There are few people that I would even go to in a time of need.

As much as I've said that my boyfriend is one of my best friends, he's not my best, best friend. My best, best friend is someone who is actually a lot like me. In fact, we have so much in common it's scary. Our music tastes are exactly the same, our views on life differ little. But I also feel she's someone I admire because there are so many qualities that she has that I don't.

Sure we've had our arguments, but soon after it's looked at and laughed at. She easily forgives and she's easily forgivable. There are so many things I can laugh at with her that others would just frown upon or laugh at, while she will laugh with me. If I haven't told you before, I'm about the most clumsiest person in the world and I'm always tripping and getting hurt.

I easily make a fool of myself, but she's that helping hand that will help me up. She'll stick up for me when I'm being made fun of and I'll be there for her and it all works out. She's my definition of a real friend, a true real friend that is. While my boyfriend goes to the extent as a friend, meaning someone that I can trust, but the relationship isn't secure, like the one I have with my best, best friend.

It's complicated, it's hard to understand, friendship. But once you find someone that makes you feel safe, feel cared for, and a lot of other things that you can't put into words, you've found a real true friend.
