Can You Find a True Friend?

Why do we have friends….why do we call them friends… 
Once when I was a kid... I heard and I learned.. 
"A friend is someone who knows all about you… 
But. Still loves  and cares for you…" 
May be this is a wrong Idea..….a false saying… 
Just look in to your own heart and say.. 
Can u really love a person when you know everything about thme selves..? 
I don’t want you to answer..Beacuse I am not the question.. 
Most of the people build boundaries in their  hearts… 
High walls that nobody can ever reach or touch.. 
When the entire world thinks that friend is the only one… 
To understand you…to take care… 
Even in the darkest time in your life… 
yet I was not welcomed as a friend.. 
Sometimes they does  but…so many boundaries are done.. 
I only believe in one thing in my heart.. 
"Friend is some one who will leave you.. 
Give you boundaries…keeps u arms length.. 
But still have a smile on their face… 
When they get to know about your self".... 
Tell me…can you really find a true friend... 
Have you been blessed with a true friend..?
