True friends

"You always make me feel so good about myself"

I know I can count on you to brighten even the darkest days.
When I feel alone and meaningless,
Like no one cares.
You make me feel significant in the best of ways.
Boost my self worth.

"I love how I can always turn to you for anything.
You're always there for me. It makes me feel so secure."

Never absent.
Someone to give support.
Someone to love you.
No matter what.
That is a true friend.

"People who I feel genuinely care about me all the time.
Not just when it's convenient for them."

"You have always been one of the people that is most
Special to me in my life. I don't think you realize how much I
Appreciate and love you."

I can never explain the great love I have for you.
That is what the most pure friendship is.
One of the greatest loves a person can know.

Have I ever been one to judge.
No. I can not for I know I have made mistakes myself.
I can only offer help, compassion, and sympathy when
The other is in need.
That is another aspect of friendship.
Never quick to condemn and only quick to love.

"And that is why you have always been one of my
Very best friends. Because I can do all of those things for you
And you are one of the only people that will return the favor."

Friendship is give-and-take.
Accepting the love from others is almost as important as giving it.
It can't be one sided.
At times some friends make me feel drained and worthless.
That is the farthest from true friendship and the farthest from what
You make me feel.
I feel replenished, accepted, and important when I talk to you.

"I've told you things I would tell no one else."

Sharing in confidence.
Knowing your words are safe.
The ability to say anything and to trust each other implicitly.
I know I have that protection around you.

A friend should be someone you would do anything for.
Someone you love to be around.
I could spend hours even days with you and never get bored.
Always have something to talk about.
You make me a better person by your example.
Even when you feel your worst.

I don't know how I came to deserve a friend like you.
Someone so memorable.
So precious.
You came into my life at the perfect time.
I needed you more than I could have known.
You are essential in my life.

These words do not come close to showing my gratitude.
But they are the best I can do.
