A friend does most of these:
Accepts you as you are
Believes in "you"
Calls you just to say "HI" Doesn't give up on you!
Envisions the whole of you (even the unfinished parts)
Forgives your mistakes
Gives unconditionally
Helps you
Invites you over
Just "be" with you
Keeps you close at heart
Loves you for who you are
Makes a difference in your life
Never Judges
Offer support
Picks you up
Quiets your fears
Raises your spirits
Says nice things about you
Tells you the truth when you need to hear it
Understands you
Values you
Walks beside you
X-plains thing you don't understand
Yells when you won't listen and
Zaps you back to reality
Friendship Quotes
"If you're alone, I'll be your shadow. If you want to cry, I'll be your shoulder. If you want a hug, I'll be your pillow. If you need to be happy, I'll be your smile... But anytime you need a friend, I'll just be me."
"Se sei solo, sarò la tua ombra. Se vuoi piangere, sarò la tua spalla. Se vuoi un abbraccio, sarò il tuo cuscino. Se hai bisogno di essere felice, sarò il tuo sorriso...Ma ogni volta che avrai bisogno di un amico, sarò me stesso."
"Never explain youself. Your friend don't need it, and your enemies won't believe it."
