What is friendship? How can you say someone isn’t suited for a friend? How much is too much?

Many people ask me why I still love her as much as I do, why after everything that she has put me through I still allow her to come back to me? I never am able to answer them, it seems as though it’s just a testament of our friendship. My best friend and I are constantly fighting about petty things, but as petty as they may seem I believe it just strengthens our friendship. We don’t have to worry about what may happen for we know we love each other dearly either way we never really leave each other.

Our friendship is much like a roller coaster, one minute we are at our high telling each other “I love you” and the next minute we are at our low saying meaningless things such as “I hate you” or “Don’t talk to me anymore.” The most likely reasons our friendship is so strong is that we love each other very much, it may also be that so far I am the only one that has enough patience with her. Patience really is a virtue when it comes to her, not many have been able to put up long with her.

Like a beautiful rose, our friendship has thorns, she seems to lose her way and make mistakes, some of which are rather hard to forgive. Though these mistakes have caused periods of sadness, disappointment, and much heartache, I always find it in my heart to allow her back in. Many have told me that I am being stupid, that she doesn’t deserve a friend like me, but who are they to say what she deserves? Honestly, I, myself, don’t know why I need her in my life, but what I do know is I need her. I need her to be here when I need her, its just that there are times when only she can take my day and make it all better again. I love her dearly and I can’t and don’t want to let her go.

I’m not going to lie, it’s true, most of what people tell me about how she is to me makes sense. That’s probably why when they say things I have no way of defending myself. I know I’m not supposed to question my friendship with her, but sometimes it’s hard, I mean I love her a lot, its just that when am I to tell them when they say the things they do, After all, their accusations aren’t pulled out of thin air,

Here’s the thing though I don’t care, I know that’s being stupid but oh well its not my fault well technically it is but in a higher sense it isn’t.

I didn’t chose to find a friend that would have a lot of common with me, that would be able to know what I was thinking, to be able to read me like a book and its not like I chose for her to be the way she is. Honestly. I believe she needs me in her life just as much as I need her. Don’t you think everybody deserves to have a friend that will love them unconditionally, be there whenever they need them, never let them down, to understand them. Isn’t that what being a best friend is all about? Isn’t a best friend someone who will understand the way you are, know how you are, recognize your flaws and still love you and be there for you no matter what? If that’s not what a best friend is supposed to be then I don’t know what is.

So before someone else tries telling me stuff, stop and think “Isn’t that true friendship?”
