What are friends?

Friends what are they supposed to be really? For me friends are the ones whom you share your deepest and darkest secrets, even the most intense of problems. But how can you consider a person a friend if he is a backstabbing liar. Is that what you call a friend, he is supposed to be a shoulder you can lean on, open arms that are ready to accept you for your strengths and weaknesses. He gives advice whenever you need it and gives his opinion when you are asking him. A friend scolds like a father, gives advice like a mother and loves like a brother.

Friends are the only persons who understand you, whom you share your opinions with and who is always there when you have a problem and goes out of their way just to share their opinion to you just to comfort you. They are the only ones who you share your deepest darkest secrets and does not let anyone know your secret whatever happens. They are the ones who will try to sacrifice themselves just to save your friendship or even you.

But what kind of friends do you think you have? The type of friends who will lay their own life for you or the dirty backstabbing humans whom you call friends. Do you still consider him a friend even though all the hardships that he has let you conquer it all alone? Even all the times that he has left you in the dust just to save himself for his own selfish ideas. Is that what you call a friend? Do you still believe that every person can be trusted?

Who will even try to call that person a true friend if he himself does not even respect and love his friends with the love that the friends gave him? Is that a true friend? And when the time comes when you realize that you have found a true friend would even try to at least tell your feelings toward the friend you have. That you have the type of feelings that you cannot sleep at night because you always think about her. The feelings of butterflies in your stomach whenever you think about her. But when it comes to talking with her personally you seem that you start to stutter and start to eat your words while you are talking to her. Would you even try to tell her how you feel if you can’t even talk to her normally without having any problems as if you have nothing to hide?

What if you told her that you love her from the first time that they have met and you feel like she is your world. Without her in your life you would start to crumble and fall and love would just be an insane word just for persons whom feel love towards their partner. But if she told you that she also feels the same way about you but she is still not ready to have a relationship. And when you know it, as time passes by and she will forget the words you uttered and also the promise that she made. But you still kept that promise and never forgot about that because it is like a milestone in your life and it is very important to you. But because she forgot the promise it is like she does not care because if it is also important to her she would never forget it and wait till the right day she is ready.

Friends come in different identities some are friends because they just want to have some. Some just are just your friends because of material things you have if you do not have what they want they will forget you as if you did a big deal out of not sharing any material things those are the worst of all. Some so called friends just want to be friends with you so that they can be one of your closest friends just to learn your deepest, darkest secrets so that he can tell his own friends about you and ruin your own reputation just to uphold their own. And the best type of friends comes when you least expect it some appear as mere strangers from the start and once you tell your secrets to her and she tells her darkest secrets and keeps it to herself then you can consider her your true friend because they are the ones who understand you know your flaws and strengths and accepts it and most of all keep the secrets that you shared.
