We
all have that one friend that exerts too much effort and tries their very best
to keep in touch and makes sure that we’re always smiling. We all have that
one friend that knows what you want, when you want it and how you like it. We
all have that one friend that’s like a brother/sister to us. We all have a
friend that lives up to the expectation of the song “You’ve got a Friend”
because winter, spring, summer or fall, all you have to do is call and they’ll
be there for you.
They’re
the type of friend that’s always willing to help you with your surprises to
your special someone or your loved ones. They’re the type of friend that won’t
mind what their parents will say because they got home late from your house
just to help you with your relationship problems, life problems or they just
stayed with you because they want to be with you or just because you said so. They’re
the type of friend that makes an effort to be with you even when they’re busy,
just because you want them to. They’re the type of friend that makes you smile
when you’re sad; but they’re also the type of friends that at times becomes
sensitive with acceptable reasons. They’re the type of friend that says they
don’t need anything in return, but actually, they do sometimes. Trust me, they
do.
You
might not always want to ask him/her about what he/she is feeling because you
know that he/she is strong; you might not always have your eyes and ears on
them because you’re too busy talking about someone in particular; and you might
not always understand what they feel.
But
you should always remember that they were with you when you were crying because
someone left you, they were with you when you don’t know what to do with your
life anymore, they visited you when you were sick, they were with you because
you phoned them out and they were with you when they’d rather be someplace
else.
One
simple advice, try to thank them even when you already did. Try to make them
feel special the way they made you feel most of the time. Try to tell them in
person that you miss them and you appreciate them rather than texting it to
them. Try to do something for them even just this once. Try to give them a hug.
Because remember, they were there with you when they’d rather be someplace
else.
If
you want them to be a part of your life, don’t wait for them to walk out of it,
do something about it to make them stay. Because that friend we’re talking
about right now, they’re for KEEPS.
