Friends

     We all have friends, as many as the grains of sand scattered in the beach, but only few stand out as the best and the truest. Only a few count as those who'm you can really rely on.

     Friends come up and say hello, chat with you for a while, then leave and say goodbye, say hello, sit with you for a while, merely feeling your presence. Sensing you're in trouble, they knit their eyebrows and ask you what's wrong. Then they simply sit there, watching you closely, inching closer to your soul, touching your heart, and before your knew it the pain is gone. After everything is okay, they remain sitting beside you, their eyes dancing in excitement as you start babbling merrily. They listen, listen and listen. As you talk, talk and talk. Then they keep on sitting until they crack a joke that will make you more happy. And when the time is over, they get up from sitting, leave and never say goodbye, for you to know that they always come and they never go...
