Notice I didn’t even say they had to bring me bacon

I like having a friend that will patiently look at all my photos, and then act amused.

I like having a friend I can just sit and watch the news with for thirty minutes and then talk about “how things have changed” like we’re eighty.

I like having a friend that will go for drinks because neither of us want to go home yet.

I like having a friend I don’t have to talk with all the time to know we’re friends.

I like having a friend who’s a good person.

I like having a friend that tells me going back to school is worth it.

I like having a friend that tells me my hair looks good.

I like having a friend I can be proud of.

I like having a friend that wants to make plans with me.

I like having a friend that hesitates in giving me advice I didn’t ask for, but then says “let me know if you need anything.”

I like having a friend that’s adventurous.

I like having a friend that doesn’t know how good they really are, so then I can remind them.
