The Best of Friends (July 6th)

The best friend. What makes a best friend (or the best friend) more than just a friend? And really, what is friendship anyways? Someone you enjoy hanging out with? Someone you feel comfortable with? Someone you can tell your secrets to? Someone you can’t live without?
Recently, I have been thinking and there are people who think I am their friend. But they shouldn’t. To some of those people, I am a horrible friend. But why? Why do they try to keep our friendship? Because they think I’m a good friend? I don’t even know.
But there are some other people that I think that I have a dedicated friendship, one that goes both ways. And one of those, I think I am going to lose. Not lose entirely but the closeness will not be as close. If that makes any sense at all, this person showed me what true friendship really was. Honesty and loyalty. Not only that but she gave me advice to help me with every part of my life. She was with me when I was at my lowest low and she was definitely at my side when I couldn’t have been happier. This woman is such a huge part of my life and I just don’t understand why our friendship has to take such a difficult turn.
Sometimes I am at a loss for words with her; I want to tell her that everything will be okay. But do true friends lie to one another? I don’t think, I know I won’t be okay without her. Because she is my best friend. I want to tell her what the right thing to do is, give her the correct advice. Seeing as she has done the same for me so many times before.
But, I don’t have the words. I don’t have the words because this is my best friend; I don’t want to say the wrong things. I want to be completely supportive. That’s what best friends do.
So, all in all, I am going to do my best. Because that is what best friends do (as far as I’m concerned). I am going to love her and I am going to give her the best advice I can and support. I will, forever be her shoulder to cry on.
Best friends. You may not be by my side but you will be in my heart and mind every single second, darlin’.
