Friendship isn't just a state of the mind, but it rather is an act. That involves something you do, not about whether you're good or not, but about a sensible affiliation among people, although it doesn't mean you have to be balanced at all time. There are times when you "need a friend" and there are times you feel the contrary. It is a trust being brought back to you.

Love isn't love, unless it's being brought back to you.Love and friendship aren't quite similar things, although they have bondage with each other; there is a lot of love around friendship. You might say that love isn't even something between two people, but it is a state of being for only one person. You aren't just in love. You are love. You ruly are, whether you concede it or not.

When we say " good friend", most likely we are pertaining to someone whom we enjoy being with all the time. Someone who makes us laugh, someone who hangs out with us, and someone who participate in everything we are doing. But have you ever thought about what the qualities of a true good friend should be? Well, a good and true friend may not always be there for you, may not always listen to you, and may not always help and understand you. No one is perfect, so don't expect perfection, but don't ever worry: a good friend will never leave you behind.

Qualities a good friend should have:

1. Honest
A good friend may not share with you every information of their whole life, but they are and they do try to be clear in their purpose. There are things needed to be kept in private and most of the time he/she may not tell you. Meaning, they try to show a precise portrait of who they are in any different circumstances. But don't expect they could tell you everything either, rather expect the best from your friend. It's hard to trust people right away; we just simply need to get to know them better. If you think you have found a honest friend, then do your best to hold on to him/her.

2. Enjoying, entertaining, and unique
Well then, this could be perhaps the main reason for starting a friendship. Although, there is a lot to be said when it comes to chemistry and shared common interests. A good friend knows how to make you laugh, to jerk you out, to make you smile and to make you enjoy life. It's not easy tagging along with a quiet friend all the time as it feels like you've been walking with deaf ears and speechless mouths.

3. Conscientious and pliable
A good friend is someone who listens and understands what you're going through and how things affect you. They may not be mind readers but they could tell whether you're sad, happy, excited or mad. When they know, that what they're doing irritates you, they would change their ways or talk to you.

4. Supportive
A good friend knows your dreams and will try to make the best in helping you achieve what you want. They won't change the way you are or either drag you to conditions not suitable for you. When things got all pretty bashed up for you, they try to offer the best they could to assist you. A good friend simply won't leave you behind.

5. Trustworthy
A good friend is someone whom you can trust. They won't do something stupid that could bring you down. It would be so foolish of a friend to turn you down, isn't it? How can you call it a true friend if he/she lets you down? Trust is something that's hard to earn, yet easy to be broken. So try choosing one kind of friend for you to trust but don't forget, give them also yours. Is it worth trying to keep in touch with a friend who constantly lets you down? I'd say NO, let him/her go, a good friend wouldn't do that.

6. Caring and Thoughtful
Good friends care about you. Although there are many ways of letting you know that they care. Perhaps they may give you a hug, talk to you on the phone or invite you to their home. No good friend would just simply forget you and leave you behind just to enjoy his own life. Such people don't deserve the name Friend.

7. Loyal
A good friend would always be there for you in times of good and bad. Being loyal is what almost everyone looks for in a friend. A loyal friend could try his/her best to keep in touch, even though you're far apart. Once a friend, always a friend. Even though the distance is there, the friendship still remains.

8. Accepts you for what and who you are
A good friend accepts who you are, no matter what kind of person you are, even if you are a nuttyhead. A true friend simply will stick with you. Acceptance goes hand in hand with understanding. So at least, try to make yourself worthy of his/her friendship.

Gossip

When gossip comes around the corner,
you stand aside and leave it be,
it will effect their simple minds,
much better to let yours fly free.

Keep in mind that being honest,
will last much longer in the end.
Don't let them lead you in temptation,
to speak the tongue of a so called friend.

It's a time of hard endurance,
but at least you know who's wrong.
The ones that leave you in believing,
are not friends you want to belong.

Wrong Choice

I was hurt when you denied our friendship,
which had been close, I thought, for many years.
I used to tell you all my little pains,
you were the one to go to with my fears.

Then suddenly, you said I was no friend,
because I dared to tell you what was true.
You used my words and twisted them around,
so I was looking bad in stead of you.

You couldn't stand that you were not 'the Queen',
disposing those, who would not walk your lane.
Then one by one, all friends were leaving you,
in loneliness you claimed: we were insane.

It's been long time, but still you will not see,
that friendship's based on love's integrity.

Eighteen Blessings in a row,
look how friendships slowly grow,
between people who have never met,
other than here on the internet.

All around the world they live,
love and respect is what they give.
The only thing that I can do,
is cyber hugging each one of you.

Thank you Squidoo Angels.
