Recognizes friendship as a responsibility * Doesn't have to say a word * Encourages you to be yourself * Lets you see them as they are * Gives your life meaning * Is the wind beneath your wings * Makes you feel warm all over * Makes life more interesting * Accepts "No" for an answer * Brings out the best in you * Shares their chocolate * Compliments you *
