What It Means to be a Friend…

What does it mean to be a friend?
Someone who is nice all the time,
Supports everything you do?
One who looks at you and says,
“Don’t ever change a thing about you.”?
Or is it someone who is accepting at every moment?
No.
A friend is someone you can joke with,
Someone you can be absolutely mean to and know they won’t vanish.
A friend will leave you to be embarrassed,
Or have you take the blame then smile with you about it later.
A friend is someone you can count on to say:
“You’re such a buttface.”
A friend is someone who will tell you are crazy,
Or even ask “Why do I hang around with you guys?”
And most importantly a friend is someone you can hate at one point,
But then turn around and be the one person you can count on.
Being a friend isn’t all happy good times.
There are ups and downs, twists and turns,
A never ending adventure that is felt by both.
Friends, what would we do without them?
