There’s no substitute for a friend.

None.
No one.
Nada.

Not even chocolate.

Will chocolate answer the phone at 3 am?
Of course not.

Only a friend can listen.
Only a friend can understand.

Only a friend can kick your butt with perfect timing and totally endearing honesty.

I’ve tried oversleeping, marathon movies, all night TV, and chocolate to solve my problems.

What i need, crave, love, appreciate and count on most of all is a friend.

YOU.
