Friendship Question

How do you know when to classify someone as your best friend? Is it when you'd do anything 
for them and keep all their secrets. Someone you love beyond sisterhood. The one person who 
knows your weaknesses yet they only see the good. The one person who could hurt you but yet 
they choose to help you. The one who doesn't feel awkward when their's silence... cause 
silence just shows understanding and reflection. The one who you can't stop laughing around. 
You have so much fun with this person and miss them when their not around. A friend should be 
a breath of fresh air. The world is engulfed in fire and she's the breeze that makes things much 
easier.  A person who will tell the truth even if it will hurt. The one that I hate to see in pain, if she 
hurts I hurt it's like we are one in the same. Late nights talks on the telephone, Visits to each 
others houses during the summer. The kind of person you feel incomplete without. The one who 
can make you feel drunk without drinking one drop; being with them is like an escape. They help 
you face all your obstacles and all your pain. Through the sun and the rain you will have her 
back and front.  If someone tried to pop off at her I would instantly jump in... cause that's my 
sister, that's my blood, that's my best friend. I guess that answers my 
Friendship question.
