Funny things, friends. You come to depend on them, need them, love them, want nothing but the best for them, and try to keep them as close to you as possible. But sometimes, they pull away. Sometimes, they hide, they are distant — sometimes, they say things that hurt you, that make you question (if only for a moment) whether you mean to them what they mean to you.

Funny things, friends. Even after they make you cry, break your heart, bruise your spirit — unintentionally, always — they’re the first people to lift you up, build you up, help you stand up with your head high, again. And you can’t think of anyone else you’d rather be there to lean on, despite it all.
