Friendship?

I don’t understand friendship. I never have. Teachers in school say that we’re all friends. I tried to talk to my “friends,” but they didn’t seem to want to talk to me. I’ve gone through most of my life without friends, but trying to make them. Through the years, I’ve picked up a few friends here and there. I’ve learned about friendship. I consider a friend someone who you can talk to about anything and vise versa. Someone who listens to you, someone who loves you for yourself. Someone who will never leave you no matter what.

I have always chosen my friends very carefully, and I have made a few people I actually consider my friends. There is a huge difference, in my opinion, between someone you get along with and someone who is your friend. In all my time enduring friendship, I have never lost someone who I considered a true friend. Until now.
