What is a Best Friend?

Best Friends are the ones
Who encourage you to let loose
And make you sober up later.
They're the ones who
Make you happiest,
Make you saddest,
Make you angriest.
Best Friends are the ones
Who give you a reality check.
And still support your dreams.
You trust them with your life
But not with your food.
When you fall,
They catch you
Or help you up,
But only after they're done laughing.
Best Friends are the ones
Who can hurt you the most
But who love you the strongest.
They can piss you off--
They can cool you down--
Faster than anyone else.
They make you go places,
Try things, meet people, and do stuff
That you don't like or don't want.
Best Friends are as close as blood.
They're the ones you can rely on
At the same time they rely on you.
Best Friends sometimes slip up,
But at the end of the day,
All they really do is love you with all their heart.
That is a Best Friend.
