A True Friend is...

someone who knows when you are upset.
someone who won't let you get away without talking about it.
someone who will risk their life to make sure you don't up and die on them.
someone who you can call up at 10:30 at night no matter how small your problem.
someone who instead of going with the "big group" will go with you when you feel bad.
someone who can just let you be when you need time alone.
someone who goes out of their way to make sure you're happy.
someone who always has a shoulder for you to cry on if need be.
someone who if you do cry on their shoulder won't go and tell the world.
someone who puts your happiness equal to theirs and not less than theirs.

Once in a long while,
Someone special walks into your life
And really makes a difference.
They take the time
To show you in so many little ways
That you matter.
They see and hear the worst in you,
But don't walk away;
In fact they may care more about you.
Their heart breaks with yours,
Their tears fall with yours,
Their laughter is shared with yours.
Every time you see a certain gesture,
Hear a certain laugh or phrase,
Or return to a certain place,
It reminds you of them.
You treasure the time you have with them,
And you feel thankful that someone
Can still touch your heart so deeply.
You remember their words,
Their looks,
Their expressions;
You remember how much of themselves
They give - not just to you, but to all.
You remember the strength
That amazes you,
The courage that impresses you,
The grace that inspires you,
And the love that touches you.
