Real Friends

Real friends go through the good and rough times with you,
They pick up when you call,
They know when something is wrong,
They respect you and care for you.

Once someone told me that to care for another takes a lot of effort,
And he was right.
You can tell when someone really cares about you,
and therefore also when they don't.

But in the end what matters most,
Is that everyone is cared for,
In some way or another.
And nobody is left out.



But is that what this is all about? Fairness and equality in friendship? Does everyone deserve to be someone else's friend? How does one make a choice to start being friends with someone else?

Nowadays people throw that word around as if it means nothing. You can call somebody a friend even if you only barely know them.

The difference between having someone call you a friend and actually being their friend is in the way they treat you and in their actions. So if you want a real friend then you better be prepared to act like one to them.
