Friends Will Be Friends

Someone commented that I don't seem to have many friends, which I denied. But then I had some time to think about it, and in a way, I might have to agree with that. Then again, maybe we don't share the same views on friends.

It's not that I don't have many friends, but I guess I'm just not good at touching base. I don't quite believe in being sociable, just for the sake of having a social life. I have friends who I rarely get to see, but I know that anytime I need them, they will always be there for me. Ok, so we might just do the occasional dinner or drinks, but hey, do I really need to see them all the time for them to know that they have a place in my life, or I in theirs? I see my best friend one week a year at best, if he comes back from London, if not, then it's a week every two years. But he knows I love him, and I know he loves me...

Then there are the other people who fill up my phone book and MSN list. Am I friends with all of them? Some of them might have been once, others are ex-colleagues or schoolmates. They walk the line between acquaintances and friends. Am I wrong to draw the line? I don't really know them that well to call them friends, maybe we just don't click well enough to hang out, but I like them enough to still do the occasional touching base.

These past few weeks have been a little trying for me, and it's at times like these that I realise who my true friends are. They don't really care how badly I've screwed up, or am screwed up. They like me for who I am, and that's all that counts, at the end of the day. You guys know who you are, and you've been awesome! This one's for you.

"Friends will be friends
When you're in need of love
They give you care and attention
Friends wil be friends
When you're through with life
And all is hope is lost
Just hold out your hand
'Cos friends will be friends
Right till the end"
