In my eyes a best friend is someone you couldn't live without. A true friend never lies, never boasts and never tries to belittle you. a true friend is someone that is there for you regardless of circumstance. A true friend is there for you without having to be asked, they know when something is wrong and they usually know you well enough to know how to fix it. A true friend never judges, they simply comfort you when needed. A true friend doesn't try to make you angry or upset , instead they protect you from those who do want to make you angry and upset. My best friend is like my right arm. When I'm in trouble I call her, when I'm lonely i call her, when I'm down i call her because i know that she'll be there for me. In my eyes a true friend is someone who you trust wholeheartedly , someone you know you can rely on no matter what. A true friend is someone that makes you smile, makes you laugh and dries your tears . A true friend is someone that offers compassion instead of judgment when you know yourself judgment will be passed by others. And a true friend never tries to change you, they accept you for who you are at face value and love you that way. They don't try and mold you into someone your not and you know if they felt you where changing they would tell you. Because thats what good friends do. A true friend isn't afraid to tell you how they really feel. If they hate your clothes ...a true friend will tell you ...and get away with it. A true friend never makes you feel worthless, instead they let you know how much they value you and what an important part of their life you are. And importantly a true friend is someone you can talk to. Someone who listens and gives advice and who knows your deepest fears and secrets. And they never tell a soul.

A true friend is often hard to find......but never easy to lose.
