An Ode To Friendship

Because of the incident with Gregory I've been thinking of my relationship with my friends. Do I spend enough time with them or do I neglect some friendships? My friends in Poland for example: Although I promised I would I don't write too many Mails to them, so now I wrote to each and every one of them. I miss them, even though Switzerland is more of a home to me than Poland, I really really miss everything and everyone there. Except the roads. Ghastly. Most of all, sometimes more than father and K, I miss Sophia and D, meaning Darek.

Sophia is one of my oldest, very best friends who knows everything about me and always knows what I'm thinking before I even got the idea of thinking it. My cool Soul Sistah; on her birthday last year I called the radio so they played Hey Soul Sister by Train, her favorite song back then, five times in a row. :) She was so embarassed when they said her name in the radio, her face looked like a tomato ^^
Alas, Sophia is a very naive person; she always lets people use her, especially boys. I've never met a person who broke up with her boyfriend more times than her in two weeks, and it was the same one. I've never met a girl before who's had so many boyfriends, either. And every time she's broken up or found a new guy she calls me or mails me and tells me what a jerk or how sweet and nice he is. I've gotten used to it, but it makes me worry about her future. A lively girl like her should be happy and settled with one guy and not with five in a month. But who am I to criticize her; I can't even say no to the biggest slut in class. Oh dear, what a nuisance to be gullible. And kind. I should start hating everybody, it would be easier.

Darek on the other hand is a very special person. Like Sophia, I've known him for more than seven years now, which is quite a bit. Kind of my soul mate number two. I think he's more number one because I've known him him longer that Gregory and he knows so much about me that either he is my lost twin brother or he has telepathic abilities, because sometimes he tells me things about myself that not even my diary knows (knew, I don't write one anymore). K always says that if you hit one of us, the other will feel pain, and if one of us laughs, the other feels happy, too, no matter how big the distance is between us. That's cute and kinda cool.
One important thing about my relationship with Darek is that I love him. It's not love like in going out or marrying, I love him as a very important, very dear friend. I love him, but I'm not in love with him. Many people mistake us for a couple when they see us, though. It's because we sometimes hold hands and swing them around like little children or I kiss him on the cheek or he kisses me on the forehead or something like that; small, tender things done between brother and sister. With Darek I would travel to the end of th world and back, jump down the Niagara Falls and climb Mount Everest, I couldn't care less how dangerous it is. I guess that's what you call blind trust in a person. I love it that i can be myself around him, I can be childish or silly or hysterical or crazy or whiny or bad-tempered and he will still stay by my side and talk to me and be childish or hysterical or crazy or something with me. That's what I love about him. He's such a dear.

Friends should be cherished, they are all we've got. Parents can be a nuisance, Lovers, come and go, but friends always stay-as long as they are true friends.There is a proverb saying: "The only unsinkable ship is friendship."
I hope I have a lot of friends, some good ones, some shallow ones, but no enemies. I hope I can call my class my friends, not because I know them well or share their secrets, but because I like them all, despite everything. E, for example; I don't want her to hate me for going out with a guy she hates in turn. I usually follow the advice of friends regarding relationships, because they see more than me, who am blind, but this time I want to take the risk. I regard E as my friend. I hope it's mutual. :)

Thus ends my ode to friendship, which is actually an ode to two particular friends.
