There's no substitute for a friend. None. No one. Nada. Not even chocolate. Will chocolate answer the phone at 3 am? Of course not. Only a friend can listen. Only a friend can understand. Only a friend can kick your butt with perfect timing and totally endearing honesty. I've tried oversleeping, marathon movies, all night TV, and chocolate to solve my problems. What i need, crave, love, appreciate and count on most of all is a friend. YOU.
