Just like a tattoo, i'll always have you

READ ON, it'll make you ponder

You know there are many types of friends. Childhood friends, the kind that saw you growing up together with them, held your hand as you grew through different phase, the ones that have lived with you enough & now they know you inside out. Then there are best friends, the one you trust your life with, the one that you meet everyday and yet when you go home, you still call and there's just so much to say. The ones that you'll probably do anything for cause well, they're the best friends. Then there's close friends, those you hang around with every now and then, laughing at silly things and lastly mere acquaintances, the ones that are "hi-bye", the ones you see around everyday.

I was talking to someone online the other day and we started talking about friends. And he said something that was really true. In life we meet plenty of people and somehow or another, they all become friends and sometimes even our best-est friends, but at the end of the day, how do we know if the people we met are true? How do we really know if they're really worth our friendship? It always take an argument to test how true the friendship really is. No matter how bad the argument, your true friend should just never walk out on you. He didn't mean to imply anything but yet he made me realize a lot of things eversince and he made me stronger.

&then i realised, he's such a gem of a friend. In YJ, you could never see me hanging around with him. In the very first year, we were classmates, only for ONE subject. He had his own group of friends and I had mine. There was never really a time that you could see us actually sitting together during a break joking and laughing like how i would with the rest. Yet, i feel so comfortable when i talk to him online. You know, the kind of person you can say absolutely anything to without fearing that he would get offended, the one person you can tell everything thats bothering you to without being afraid that he's going to judge you and that one person that you can tell your deepest darkest secrets too without reminding him to keep it to himself, cause you trust him more than you trust yourself sometimes. He was never physically around to hear me out, and well you can say though we were in YJ, our main source of conversations were through MSN, where we shared laughter, silly jokes, bitched about certain people and shared some problems. And though I've never been there for him much when he needed someone, somehow me being around means a lot to him and he appreciates the fact that I've just been around. &sometimes when he thanks me, i start to wonder what he's really thanking me for? &thats when i discovered, that this friendship got stronger cause we held no expectations in one another. We just accepted each other for the individuals we were, and today i dare say that I've met a true friend.

He doesn't know this probably, but seriously, he's such a great human being. He's never been physically around, but I know when I need someone, he's around somewhere. ((:

But, besides him there's been a couple of true ones around too, who have been physically there for me always, whose been there to support me through troubled days and i can't thank them enough!
