A true friend….

Will forever be there if u gots that little itch place on your back, and you juuuuust can’t reach it.

Will loan you $20, u forget about it, remember three months later you allofasudden remember - pay them back and they exclaim “ohm, I’d forgotten about that.”

Will know when you’re down, and will know exactly the life concoction to lift you back up.

Will perhaps never tell you when they’re down - but somehow, you can just sense/tell it.

Never hasta thinka stuff to say to you.. It flows…

Will look at you and yes, think just like you do - and remember many of the trials and tribulations, and perhaps a few drinking parties you’ve attended together.

Will give you something, for no apparent reason, and say “I thought of you when I saw this.”

Will never ever talk about your nextest best friend infronta you.

Will never reflect inwardly “what’s in it for me” - rather “what’s in it for us.’

Will recall events you shared from eons ago in excruciatingly perfect detail, and you won’t have the foggiest idea whatinthehell they’re talking about.

Will remember some stupid number like your locker number in HS, your baseball number, your street address, the size of the engine of your first car.

Will remember six more people than you that shared your sixth grade class.

Knows there are certain boundries/topics/people you never cross/bring up, and neither do they.

Calls you a 9th time, after leaving 8 previously unreturned messages.

Understands you occasionally forget to reply to that email.

Tells something to be kept in confidence, and holds something told in confidence.

When you get together, no matter how long the lapse - it’s just like it ‘was.’

When you do something really fucking stupid will tell you “that was really fucking stupid.”

Understands you are a human being, and human beings aren’t perfect.

Will ask your opinion, and give there’s when you ask.

My best friend is named Sanford. Pretty much always has been, probably always will be. We were inseparable in school, hung together tons for many, many years thereafter.. Then started families.. Wel played softball together for years thereafter. Pretty much all of the above is true. Not that we didn’t have our spats back in the day.

Many friends fit this though, and for that I’m thankful. And, we all try from our ends to be good friends. Sorry there that this wasn’t funny, just felt like writin’ ‘bout it. Have a nifty weekend there friend.. Love, Victurd.
