True Friends...

... those amazing people in your life that will hold back you hair while you throw up in the toilet after drinking too much, accept you for all your finer points (as well as the cringe worthy ones that you barely admit to yourself), support you in whatever you do (even if they know you're making one of the biggest mistakes in your life), and are there picking up the pieces of you when it all goes wrong.
They may come and go at various times in your life, though when really needed will be there for you, will listen to your seemingly silliest fears from the otherside of the world at 2am, cry when you do and laugh when you laugh. They'll never get upset if you forget to thank them, will just give you a hug for the joy of hugging and will do anything in their power to see a smile from you.
I am truly lucky to be able to count my true friends on the fingers of one hand (maybe a couple of fingers spare). I hope you can say the same - I'm not talking just friends here, I'm talking the true friends that will pick you up like wingless angels, put you on your feet, brush you off and say good on ya!
The one thing a true friend will never do is disappoint you. Just friends can, a true friend never will!
