Friend

Who is a true friend?

someone who sees past the mask you wear
and loves you for who you are.

someone who cares about you now
not what you did in the past.

someone who would do anything for you
without you ever asking.

someone who sacrifices their own needs
to help you meet yours.

someone who forgives you time and time again
when other people would have given up on you.

someone who holds you
even though they need to be held.

someone who may not understand
but stands beside you all the same.

someone who protects you
even when it leaves them vulnerable.
