Simple friend vs. real friend

I have many friends.
Perhaps I have too many friends.
But what I am thankful for is that I have more than enough REAL friends.
To differentiate between real friends and good time friends, take a good read.
Then perhaps, you will know who your real friends are.


A Simple Friend has never seen you cry.

A Real Friend has shoulders soggy from your tears.



A Simple Friend doesn't know your parent's first names.

A Real Friend has your parents asking about them when it's been a while since they saw each other..
(and sometimes, your real friends have nicknames for your parents too).


A Simple Friend brings a bottle of wine to your party.

A Real Friend comes early to help you cook and stays late to help you clean.



A Simple Friend hates it when you call after he/she has gone to bed.

A Real Friend asks you why you took so long to call.



A Simple Friend seeks to talk with you about problems.

A Real Friend seeks to help you with your problems.



A Simple Friend wonders about your life history.

A Real Friend could blackmail you with it, and they never will.



Simple Friend, when visiting, acts like a guest.

A Real Friend opens your refrigerator and helps himself.(yeah, Harry, carry on then)



A Simple Friend thinks the friendship is over when you have an argument.

A Real Friend knows that it's not a friendship until after you've had a fight.



A Simple Friend expects you to always be there for them.

A Real Friend expects to always be there for you!
