A Real Friend
Is never afraid to be seen with you
Never leaves you behind in trouble
Is always there on the double
Never second guesses you
Always giving you a say in the decision
Knows when you are upset
And is the first to offer help
Listens to you when you are upset
And is the first to offer help
Listens to you no matter what
Tells you their deepest secrets--
While keeping yours buried
Knows how and when to comfort you
But, also when to leave you alone
After misunderstandings...seeks forgiveness
---Earnestly and quickly
---Has already forgiven you
Comes to you for advice
---Seriously considers it
Keeps you sheltered from harm
Knows your thoughts by looking into your eyes
Looks to you for help when speaking their mind
A real friend loves you unconditionally
---forever
