These days, it’s hard to find a friend. Not just a friend to go to lunch with, or a friend that will go shopping with you, but a friend that can be trusted. A friend that you can call at any hour of the day if you need help, or when you just need to talk. I have friends, but I feel as though most of my friends lack qualities that I find necessary for a true friendship to last. I wish I could find a friend that is similar to how I treat my friends.
I want a friend that will be there for me no matter what, whether they think I am right or wrong. My friend should offer support at all times, no matter the circumstance. I want a friend that will drive around with me for hours while I cry about my troubles. My friend will need to listen patiently, agree with everything I say, and then remind me what a wonderful person I am. I want a friend that will stay up with me until 7a.m. because I just broke up with my boyfriend. My friend will have to lend a shoulder to cry on, and then offer to buy me breakfast. I want a friend that will drive thirty minutes out of the way to come and pick me up because no one else will. I won’t have any gas money, so a thank you will have to do. My friend will have to buy me birthday presents and Christmas presents, Valentine’s Day too. My friend will always have to want to do what I want. I want a friend that is willing to make me happy, because she is my friend.
Most importantly I want my friend to keep my secrets. I will tell my friend my deepest secrets and she must never let them slip. When I am having trouble in school, my friend needs to help me. She should sign up for the same classes so that we can sit together. I want a friend that will help me wash my car and paint my room, even though I know she doesn’t want to. My friend should want to go to the same restaurants that I want to go to, see the movie that I have been dying to see but I know she hates. I want a friend that wants to do what I want to do. I want a friend that will tell me that my new dress looks good on me. My friend must not lie, no matter what. I want a friend that enjoys similar hobbies. I want a friend who is loyal. When people talk behind my back, I want my friend to stand up for me, even if she thinks what they are saying is true. My friend should be proud of the person that I am.
I want a friend that will let me dominate the conversation. My friend must listen attentively to everything I am saying, give advice when needed, and smile and nod when appropriate. I want my friend to think that I have a lot to offer. My friend should be excited about my career goals. I want a friend that will talk with me for hours about what my life will be like when I begin my career. I want my friend to help me pick out my future city, and talk about what life will be like. I want a friend who is responsible with money so that I can ask her for advice. I want a friend that will sing loudly to my favorite songs. My friend should take off work and go see my favorite band when they come to town. I want a friend who is enthusiastic and up for anything. My friend should be sensitive and know when I am upset and need to talk. When my boyfriend comes over, my friend should leave, even though we had plans. My friend should understand that these things happen. I want a friend that never gets mad at me. My friend should always be happy. My friend should not be jealous, or envious. I want a friend who likes me no matter what.
I want a friend that treats me with equal respect, a friend that enjoys my company. I want a friend that likes to be around me, not just because I lend an ear, a shoulder, and a wallet.
