Does True Friendship Exist?

Source

A short story that anyone could relate too. What is the true measure of being a friend? Is it by how long you’ve been together, or just a short but a very meaningful one. Can any one define what is a true friend.

Sharing one another’s thoughts, making foolishness all the time, creating adventures on our own and fighting for sometime… As I looked from the past our friendship is like birds that keeps on flying along the big dark sky, searching for food and friends near by. I thought our friendship will last long forever and keeps standing on its huge roots under the ground. We are friends for centuries since both of us struggles for 20 years. Time keeps running and change still on going. But is it rightful to also change as time passes by? Investing for years to build a good friendship, and as the man grows older as well as his friend develops a gap between them. This gap that has been created slowly destroys our long invested happiness and good memories. Until, such time has come when our friendship ends up for just a minute. It’s hard for me to believe that it ends up that moment. After a long energetic walk, ends with an expected sudden stop that almost brought me to death. It took me years to recover. I strongly believe that strong friendship does not require you as a person but as a friend. When is your “friend” really considered a real friend, when he offers you food, when he is always with you, maybe yes; but does not end there, there’s a lot of you both to discover for true friendship. When you have problems, you don’t hesitate to talk with him/her, and as well as he/she.

We have uncovered our selves for the better and as we totally depart from each other, we are always be friends in our hearts and be friends forever. Sometimes we see each other and it reminds me of the hated past. When I’ve looked upon the past that the things that keeps us connected where extremely different from the present. We have various friends today and probably changed us as of what we are now. Maybe the friend that I’ve been with before is completely different of what he is now. I’m happy that we have found the right place that we can motivate ourselves through our newly found friends. And hoping that there is such time that we will build our more strong friendship.
