"True Friends do these things"
By: Despoina
~True Friends do these things~
They come when you
least expect them, to remind you that you’re not alone.
They share their deepest
thoughts, fears, and dreams with you, because
they trust you.
They scold you when
you think/act stupid, because they hate to see you suffer.
They tell you the truth, good or bad.
True Friends check to
see how you’re doing, because they care.
They know when you’re
not well, because they feel it.
They call you at 3am
when you’re sleepless, to comfort you.
Yes, True friends do these things...
Yes, True friends do these things...
True Friends accept
all your flaws, because nobody’s perfect.
They hear your
silence, because it speaks louder than words.
They tell you silly
jokes to make you smile, because your sadness saddens them more.
They get drunk with you, just because.
True Friends hold your hand, in every possible way, even from afar.
They forgive you even
when you hurt them, because they love you.
They like your inner
child, because it’s genuine.
True Friends do these things...
True Friends give their all to you, because you deserve to be happy.
True Friends accept you as you are.
