It's not about money
It's not about the gaming devices
It's not about the materialistic things.

It's about friendship.
It's about the little things they do
It's about the little things they say
It's about a friend waiting with you for your bus because he knows you're troubled.
It's about friends willing to sit down and listen to you pour your heart out
It's about the encouraging SMSes they send to you, to keep you moving on.


It's about knowing you have friends that will stand by you.
It's about knowing you have friends that will help mend your broken spirit.
It's about knowing you have friends that you can consider brothers.
It's about knowing you have friends that you'd give your life for.

It's about the tears you shed when you're so touched, tears that people don't see.
It's about being thankful, so thankful for them.

It's about friendship.

Too many times, I've lost myself in my world of complexities and confusion. And I can rely on them to pull me out, to save them from myself and others, and to be there for me when I need them. To know that they are there, just in case, just in case, just in case I fall.

And sometimes...

It isn't about being complex.
It isn't about being bombastic.
It isn't about being sophisticated.

Sometimes, the simplest of phrases carry the most meaning to them.

Thank you.
Thank you so much.
