Thoughts Unsaid Then Forgotten

Sometimes, in the midst of friendships that are falling apart and relationships that were doomed from the very beginning, you get something rare and precious that you never want to let go of. Romance is good, it's wonderful, it satisfies you like nothing else does- but true friends, they're the ones who will be there when everything else ends. It sounds so cliche, it's been said so many times that people lost count a long, long time ago. But all cliches are cliches because they're true.

It is difficult, to give more than you take. It's almost impossible to trust more than you are trusted. But when you strike that balance between giving and taking, trusting and being trusted, never doubt it. That's when you've found the sort of friendship that lasts and lasts and lasts, and even through times when you drift apart a little, you rediscover each other after that and it's so much more awesome than before.

Thank you, for being there. Here, I mean- here for me.

Though they say friendship between girls is never without bitching and backstabbing, I like to think that it's okay to do that when everything is revealed later, and neither one has hard feelings. That's why you have friends. They forgive, and they do not forget, so that the next time it will be easier to bear.

Remember that, you (me?). When everything you cherish seems like it's going to fizzle out, remember that there is always someone out there who will give you a band-aid and tell you to cheer up, just when you need it the most.
