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 give up and die on them.
...someone who you can call up at 10:30 at night
no matter how small the problem.
...someone who instead of going with the "big" group
will go with you when you feel bad.
...someone who goes out of their way to make sure you're happy.
...someone who can just let you be when you need time alone.
...someone who always has a shoulder for you to cry on.
...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.


I'm not saying it because I'm sweet.
I'm saying it because I love you now and i always have.
More than you can imagine.

-- The Notebook by Nicholas Sparks --


I'm here to love you, to protect you in my arms,
to care for you and to learn from you.
I'm here because there's no other place to be.
