In quest of a friend

Sarah

Avacuum has been holding sway in my life ever since the girl I knew to be my friend took the plunge to walk away. To be more on the dot she had become so intolerably cruel that I found it difficult to withstand such cruelty. Discerning my own inefficiency to handle it I had decided to call her up and break to her the fact that I could not any longer afford her. Now that there is vacancy I would like to offer that place to a kind hearted young woman who will lend a hand of compassion to salvage me from the engulfing quicksand of remorse and repulsion. Since the painful falling out occurred I began considering myself of a gruesome misfortune. That is, I can't have friends. It is only very recently that I was influenced by a rather eccentric thought to put an advertisement to hunt down that desired soul.

The qualities I'm looking for is neither outstanding nor demanding…..

I would go for a girl who will take all the trouble to really understand me. Who would not date a druggy and rebuke me for not supporting her. A girl who would not punish me with offending looks that says I'm selfish. Or laugh at my distress! I would also like to go for anyone who will never leave in me a queer sense of unease that only translates to how inadequate I can be! I'm looking for a girl who instead of revealing my bruises in front of everyone would cover them. Anyone who would not strip me of my decency. I would like to go for the girl who would care to listen to my woes and simplest of worries. Just let me be a part of her without asking from me things that I cannot give. Who at the same time would be my caregiver, my critique, my inspiration and last but not least one of my favorite reasons to live. The one who would have a heart to consider my mistakes and take all the pain in trying to right them. Who would have a pleasant aura that will fill my heart with content. Some girl who would know how to act when I'm not quite myself and put together all the mislaid pieces. She would have all the amiable qualities with the touch of a celebrity for me to look up to. In her presence I'll find comfort and reassurance.

Most importantly the girl who would let me be myself. Who would be a phone call away when I'll almost start fleeting in my sorrow. A girl who would have a little patience to secure peace if I'm in a mood to fight. One who would perfectly know how to tame me when I'd take up a behavior from the wilderness. Whose devotion will bring me down to my feet and whose words of wisdom would make me wonder how less I am.

And someday if I do find this girl I would do anything and everything in this world just to light up a smile on her face when she might be feeling a bit low.

"A true friend is someone who thinks that you are a good egg even though he knows that you are slightly cracked." -- Bernard Meltzer.

"The only way to have a friend is to be one."
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

"Two are better than one; because they have a good reward for their labor. For if they fall, the one will lift up his fellow: but woe unto him that is alone when he falleth; for he hath not another to help him up."
-- The Bible: Ecclesiastes 4:9-10.

"We cannot tell the precise moment when friendship is formed. As in filling a vessel drop by drop, there is at last a drop which makes it run over; so in a series of kindnesses there is at last one which makes the heart run over."
-- Samuel Johnson
