Simple vs. Real Friends A simple friend has never seen you cry. A real friend has shoulders soggy from your tears. A simple friend brings a bottle of wine to your party. A real friend comes early to help you cook and stays late to help you, clean. A simple friend hates it when you call after he has gone to bed. A real friend asks you why you took so long to call.  A simple friend wonders about your romantic history. A real friend could blackmail you with it. A simple friend, when visiting, acts like a guest. A real friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself. A simple friend will read and throw this letter away. A real friend will send it back to you until he's sure it's been received. |
