Her Side Of The Story

A Friend

A friend.

Do you call yourself someone's friend?
What exactly did you do to them to make you call yourself their friend?
Do you always around when they need you the most?
Do you listen to their rambling?
Do you give them solutions to their problems?
Do you feel their sadness when they are sad?
Do you cheer them up when they are sad?
Do you genuinely happy when they are happy?
Do you teach them things they don't know?
Do you miss them when they are not around?
Do you feel angry when others did bad things to them?
Do you stand by their side?
Do you give them advice on their little love life?
Do you agree to whatever they said and done?
Do you cover their mistakes and dare to take the blame?

If your answer to those questions are 'Yes, I do.' then that's perfection.
But nobody's perfect.
Even the best friend can't do all those things.
There's always these little evil thoughts kept hidden in your head.
Jealous. Bored. Annoyed.
Are you trying hard to be the best of friend?

I'll just tell you what I thought.
People don't have to be perfect to be called 'friend'.
I don't care about perfection.
I just want a good friend.
They don't have to understand me inside out.
They don't have to fake things to impress me.
Friends don't impress each other.
They tease each other.
They mock each other.
They bluntly blurt whatever comes to their minds.
They just have to be theirselves.

It's okay to make mistakes sometimes.
Because I do, too.
People make mistakes, it's in their nature.
We just have to forgive them from time to time.
Because there are times when I'm the one who need to be forgiven.
People can't agree to whatever I said and done.
They should have their own opinion and say it out loud, even if it's the opposite of mine.
I don't care if they object my opinion.
Because someday I'll object theirs too.
It's good to have an argument.
It keeps our minds sharp.
It makes us learn about others.
They can blame me if I make bad choices in life.
I'll learn to get back to the right path.

Friends should accept each other along with their goodness and badness.
Because they will remind one another to be a better person.
You wouldn't realize what they have done, but you do realize you have changed.
Friend is the one you're having fun with, the one you're crying with.
Friend is the one who left you with good memories of them, even if it's about a bad event.
Friend is the one whose able to make you smile even when they are not around.

Because friendship is that powerful.
