Oh, I think I see them. Are they? Yes, there they are." Finally, after long months, my friends, for a long time, have finally returned to me. That’s actually the way I felt. We have a strange relationship. I’ve always considered them mine and they pretty much owned me too. It had worked really well for all of us, until now.
Running past me without even a second glimpse, they jumped full force into the arms of each other. All of us had always been like peas in a pod so I wasn’t at all surprised he leapt into his arms first. And as usual the whole friendship-nagging thing started right back up again. Just proves that distance doesn’t make the heart grow fonder between friends.
They turned to me in a slightly awkward glance. "I thought you had to work?!" Their expression lightened as they bear hugged me. You know when a hug lasts slightly longer than normal, that’s how all of our hugs felt.
Making friends for a lot of us comes naturally, but maintaining these friendships may become somewhat difficult. This is because true friendship cannot survive without these three aspects: Love, Respect and Honesty. If any of these aspects are lacking in the friendship, it will slowly disintegrate. True friendship needs equal shares of love, respect and honesty. Therefore, to maintain true friendship, you need the whole package, just not apart of it.
