Let's Be Friends

The only thing that I want from you is your friendship. But if I have to be dishonest with you, by telling you things you want to hear, or by not telling you what you don't want to hear, then I cheapen you, and I cheapen our friendship. I would rather not have your friendship at all than have you as a cheap friend. Cheap friends are a dime a dozen, but a real friend is worth more than all the money in the world. A real friend is someone who listens, and opines honestly, but does not judge. A real friend might take offense, but would never deliberately offend. A real friend does not need to remember who their friends are, because being a real friend is as much a part of their nature as the color of their hair; it is something that one simply cannot forget, or, for that matter, even fail to be!
