Friends Forever?

What are friends?

So many cliches to define friendship. The soulmates you never marry, The relatives you are not born with, But what are they really.

Someone whose troubles you try and resolve when your own troubles are driving you crazy. Someone who you want to trust inspite of knowing that they are saying things to make you feel better. Someone whose boyfriends/girlfriends you are a little jealous of coz you know that they are with the best they ever could be. Someone you make listen to the music or movies you don't like and you can tell them the truth. Someone said that if you had five real friends in life consider yourself lucky. Real is an enigma though. You could be jealous be of real friends. You could hate them for doing something which you asked them not to. But you still stand for them, by them and beside them. In good, bad and ugly; expecting the same from them. Some of them change your life, some of them change you. But consider yourself lucky, even if you have a few.
