Friendship.

I speak for many people when I say that it's easy to make friends. But the challenge is; being able to keep that friendship. Friendships falter all too quickly. Once the communication is gone, so is the connection, and I realize now that I'm not even too sure who my real friends are. There's people I've known for more than a couple of years but how am I sure that they're here to stick around. So out of all the people that call me "best friend" I could say that about only two of them came through. I have an idea that they call me best friend, because I am the person there for the time being, and vice versa. Sometimes I don't really know how to categorize my friends, and I'd rather not, but one way or another, you'll have to sit down and actually think about who was predictably bound to leave from the start. The people that are true are the ones that are "one call away" knowing that they don't necessarily need to be there every second of my life. There are also people that are kind, but just annoy the living hell out of me. I'm pretty sure I can tell what they do that's so annoying, but once I think about it, overall, they really do nothing wrong. Those are my friends that I can tell right of the bat aren't going to stick around for long, because, well, I don't want them to. I also know two of my friends who I just like so much. My first impression of them were...well, they just made too strong of an impression. But once I really got to know them, they're two people who do not know of each other (well, I don't know if they know of each other, but I'm pretty sure they don't know each other personally.) and are alike in so many ways. When I'm with one of them, she reminds me so much of the other, and vice versa. I find myself in a state of deja vu when I'm around either one, because the conversations are so alike! Of course I have the same stories to tell, and they also have the same responses. And I would sometimes accidentally bring up an inside joke to one of them, then later realize that it was actually between me and the other one. I don't talk to either one a lot, and we're definitely not in the same circle of friends, but I would consider them two of my best friends. Well I wouldn't say best friend, 'cause I'm starting not to believe in that concept. Maybe I'll just consider them two of my treasured friends. They haven't really done anything significant, but they just stand out to me. For no specific reason. Maybe the fact that no matter how much our friendships falter, I can still run back to them as if we've never been apart. It proves to me that we've already built a solid ground. So our friendships can't falter, they can only grow stronger. And I could only wish that I'm able to do that with the rest of the people in my life.
