A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest. A real friend
opens your refrigerator and helps himself (and doesn't feel even
the least bit weird shutting your 'beer/Pepsi drawer' with her
foot!)
A simple friend has never seen you cry. A real friend has shoulders soggy from your tears.
A simple friend doesn't know your parents' first names. A real friend has their phone numbers in their address book.
A simple friend brings a bottle of wine to your party. A real friend comes early to help you cook and stays late to help you clean.
A simple friend hates it when you call after they've gone to bed. A real friend asks you why you took so long to call.
A simple friend seeks to talk with you about your problems. A real friend seeks to help you with your problems.
A simple friend wonders about your romantic history. A real friend
could blackmail you with it.
A simple friend thinks the friendship is over when you have an
argument. A real friend calls you after you had a fight.
A simple friend expects you to always be there for them. A real
friend expects to always be there for you!
What kind of friend are you?
