But Darling Don’t

It is that one person who you think is your friend.

That one person who will tell you anything and everything.

That one person who will come to you, crying, because they did something wrong.

That one person who lies through choked sobs and teary words.

It is that person that will turn their back on you as soon as they get what they want.

After they have achieved their ultimate goal (whatever that may be), you are useless to them.

Tell me, what is friendship?

What does it mean to befriend someone?

To Facebook, it means that you have the general idea who a person is (usually).

To the dictionary, it means a person you know that you share mutual affection with.

To me? A friend is an unforgettable person, entering your life and slowly becoming your arm or your leg. Without them, you would be able to function, but it would be hard.

But in this world, true friends are hard to come by. Cling close to your friends, you need them now more than ever.
