For life

A friend isn't hard to find. A beautiful and sincere smile can win you friends. Talk to someone, open your heart, share your feelings... and there you've got a friend. But this is only acquaintanceship. A true lasting friendship is difficult to be found and it is even more difficult to sustain it for a lifetime.

Friends are agents of love, care and joy. A most compatible friend loves you without bounds, without reservations but with all his mind and all his heart. He feels for you, cries for you, he lightens your burden. Not everyone could be true friends.

The fragrance of friendship lies in the trust and love for each other. They say that people ought to respect each other's privacy. I beg to differ. Because there should be nothing private between friends... Nothing.

Everlasting friendship is something that enhances our life. But the overstuffed schedules of modern life make it difficult to keep up with friends. But old friendships never really change with time. No matter how many years go by, friends only have to hear from each other again some day and, like magic, it begins where it left off.

Life gave me many things... It gave me success, love, happiness, comfort, joy, sorrows, but above all, it gave me something else too... Yes, it gave me a friend.
