“Face like the stars that shine in the sky…

And her smile is definitely one of a kind…” -Josh Halverson, “Why”

The way I feel about my best friend. My best friend. When my best friend smiles, it’s like someone lit a candle. And we all know that I have an ADD personality and like flames… The flame dances, the smile goes as far as the eyes above it, and it’s amazing. Perfect. Makes my heart happy. And in turn, anything else on that face…makes me want to cry. I can go from happy to crying in 15 seconds. (Yes, I am comparing myself to a car.) But really. There’s nothing better than seeing that my best friend is happy and has every single desire known to that amazing mind. You could say I want to fill every want. Boy, I’d try. There’s nothing worse than seeing a wonderful person unhappy.

Friendship, true friendship, is so rare. I have many acquaintances. Many acquaintances I even care a great deal about. Friends?… Maybe. But there are very few people who I would trust with my life, fewer I’d trust with my heart, and even fewer I would give my life up so they could live. In fact, there are only two people that I would say “sure” with no doubt, no hesitation, if you were to ask me “take a bullet for them?”….I wish I could say I would give my life for every family member I have. But in reality and all truth, I would hesitate on it. But then…in the end, I would probably do it.

Who is your best friend? Really? Who has been there for you, no matter what happens, no matter where you’ve been, what you’ve done, supports you and cares about your happiness—not cuz they get anything out of it, but for real. The person who will tell you you’re making a mistake, they don’t agree, or they think you’re acting foolish, but won’t get mad, but talk to you about it without anger. There’s a difference between frustration and anger, and the difference is communication. I’m lucky to have my best friend, treasure yours.

Just a thought that got in my head. I needed to get it out, and thought you may get something out of it as well.
