Friendship is such a special gift, I think sometimes we just don't realise it.

A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest. A real friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself (and! doesn't feel even the least bit weird shutting your ' coke/Pepsi drawer' with her foot!)

A simple friend has never seen you cry. A real friend has shoulders soggy from your tears.

A simple friend doesn't know your parents' first names. A real friend has their phone numbers in their address book.

A simple friend brings a bottle of wine to your party. A real friend comes early to help you cook and stays late to help you clean.

A simple friend hates it when you call after they've gone to bed. A real friend asks you why you took so! Long to call.

A simple friend seeks to talk with you about your problems. A real friend seeks to help you with your problems.

A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when you have an argument. A real friend calls you after you had a fight.

A simple friend expects you to always be there for them. A real friend expects to always be there for you!
