There is a difference between being an
acquaintance and being a friend. An
acquaintance is someone whose name you
know, who you see every now and then,
who you probably have something in
common with and who you feel comfortable
around.
It's a person that you can invite to
your home and share things with. But
they are people who you don't share your
life with, whose actions sometimes you
don't understand because you don't know
enough about them.
On the other hand, a friend is someone
you love. Not that you are "in love"
with them, but you care about them and
you think about them when they are not
there. The people you are reminded of
when you see something they might like,
and you know this because you know them
so well. They are the people whose
pictures you have and whose faces are in
your head regardless.
Friends are the people you feel safe
around because you know they care about
you. They call just to see how you are
doing, because a friend doesn't need an
excuse. They tell you the truth, the
first time, and you do the same. You
know that if you have a problem, they
are there to listen.
Friends are the people who won't laugh
at you or hurt you, and if they do hurt
you they try hard to make it up to you.
They are the people you love, regardless
of whether you realize it.
Friends are the people you cried with
when you got rejected from colleges and
during the last song at the prom and at
graduation. They are the people that
when you hug them, you don't think about
how long to hug and who's going to be
the first one to let go.
Maybe they are the people that hold the
rings at your wedding, or maybe they are
the people who give you away at your
wedding, or maybe they are the people
you marry. Maybe they are the people who
cry at your wedding because they are
happy or because they are proud.
They are the people who stop you from
making mistakes and help you when you
do. They are are the people whose hand
you can hold, or you can hug or give
them a kiss and not have it be awkward
because they understand the things you
do and they love you for them.
They stick with you and stand by you.
They hold your hand. They watch you live
and you watch them live and you learn
from them. Your life is not the same
without them.
