Open Book

I love a friend that can talk about everything
and nothing at all.

I love a friend that I can sit in silence with
and feel completely comfortable.

I love a friend that is always positive
and fills me with sunshine.

I love a friend that I can laugh with
until our sides ache.

But my favorite kind of friend
is one that talks
and listens.
One that can pick up exactly where we left off
wether our last visit was a hour ago
or a year ago.
Someone that tells me what keeps her awake at night
and listens intently as I do the same.
Someone that doesn't try to solve my problems.
And I don't try to solve hers.
We know each others faults
and love each other more for it.
We don't waste time talking about the fluff.
We enjoy getting straight to the meat of things.
We remember important facts
and kindly forget the rest
because sometimes it's nice to share something
and know it will never be brought up again.
Thoughts don't have to be worded right
and words don't need to be rescinded.
It's a safe, comfortable place.

That's my favorite sort of friendship.
