A Good Friend
A good friend is a person who stands by your side even if you are wrong & helps you get back on track. Never judge you, accepts you for who you really are & loves you. A good friend cares unconditionally & understands. They are always there when you need them even when your closes family members are not there to do so.
I am selective with my friends. Hence I only have a few… These few I treasure with all my heart. They are practically family to me. I met these friends throughout different stages of my life… Some are new, some are old & some has just always been there. I refer to a particular friend today, she is my oldest friend, we met when we were little & she has always been there for me. I love her to no end.
This friend has been with me through thick and thin, through my darkest time to my happiest… She knows my deepest secrets & fears. We’ve been through so much… From pre school to high school, to graduating & now working life, we are still so close… When we were younger… I remember she would come over to my house (telling her parents we were studying) & we would get dressed for a night out clubbing. She would help me dry my hair & I would help her put on make up. Or the times we would just hang out on her porch talking about stupid boys who had broken our hearts & how difficult life turned out to be.
We have grown up now… We both have a different career & leading a very different life. But no matter what we made it a point to meet up for coffee, to catch up. Or a simple phone call to tell each other that we missed each other. It brings me peace of mind to know she will always be close by…
I found out that she was leaving next year to Aussie a couple of days ago… I am shocked, sad, angry & a whole lot of other feelings I don’t know how to describe. I didn’t ask her not to go because I knew I was in no position to do so & it would be unfair to her. So I kept quiet and said nothing. Its been a couple of days & I still haven’t gotten over it… Every time I think about it I feel like breaking down into tears.
Her happiness means the world to me, so if she’s happy I will be too (eventually). I wish her well & all the happiness & success in the world. I hope she finds love there too. But most importantly I hope that distance & time will not effect our friendship in anyway, that we will always be close & good friends forever.
