The kind of friends that I want are the ones who can make me smile. 

The ones who can make me laugh so hard that I cry. 

I want a friend who I can be myself around, not someone I have to be fake with because I'm afraid they'll judge me. 

I want a friend who can keep a secret. 

I want a friend who can tear me down-but they don't, instead they build me up. 

I want a friend who will tell me the truth, and I'll tell the truth in return. 

I want a friend who can have convorsations with me that if anyone else overheard, they'd think that we needed to be put in a mental hospital. 

I want a friend who will run with me-even if they are slow. 

I want a friend who isn't afraid to tell me when I'm wrong, and will help me be right. 

I want a friend who doesn't know my best stories, but has lived them with me.

I want a friend who would risk it all just for a smile on my face.

I want a friend who cares about what I have to say.

I want a friend who if someone were to hurt me, they'd make sure that person never touched me again.

I want a friend who will only smile if they're happy.

I want a friend that will hug me; even if I hate hugs.

I want a friend who will never abandon me.

I want a friend who if we were separated by a storm, they'll be so close to me, they don't have to be there to let me know I'm not alone.

I want a friend who will point out my worst, so I can be my best.

I want a friend that, if they mess up, they'll come running back to me with tears in their eyes, and I'll come back running to them with tears in my eyes when I mess up.

I want a friend that doesn't have to tell me that they love me, but they tell me anyways.

I want a friend that will get rid of my anxieties, or at least weaken them.

I want a friend who isn't afraid of the unknown, and will pull me along with them.

I want a friend who will force me to stop looking down at my dark path, and force me to look up at the stars and dream again.

I want a friend that I can dance in the rain with, and we don't care who sees us.

I want a friend who doesn't have to ask how I'm doing because they already know all of my hard aches. 

I wasn't a friend who will stargaze with me, and never forget all of our adventures. 

But most of all;

I want someone to understand me. And if you can understand me just a little bit, then you're my friend for life.
