You know it's real friendship
When you can make a face at them
From across the room
And your thoughts are transferred to them

And you know it's real friendship
When you communicate fully
Through unintelligible groans
And mumbling sentence fragments

And it is definitely real friendship
When you can have those 2 a.m. conversations
Whether sitting together at a sleepover
Or talking on the phone
Because you are both feeling pensive
And have those 2 a.m. epiphanies about life

I know we're real friends because you inspire me
You, with your persevering nature
Your beautiful smile and interesting perspective on life
I couldn't think of a better friend to have

So thank you, real friend
Because I have never laughed the hardest over nothing
Or cried the hardest over something
With anyone better
