Friendships are one of those things that's very difficult to put my finger on. I have some friends (probably surprises some of you), but not that many that I would call true friends. I have a couple of friends in Germany, one in Portugal, one almost two here in Chattanooga, and one in Ohio. We share a common 'chemistry'. And it doesn't seem to matter how long it has been since we last contacted each other. We simply resume where we last ended.

Friendship is defined by any two or more people who find compatibility with each other. It can be on many levels such as simply shared interests or it can be as strong as a bond of love forged over many years of shared experiences and being there for each other. The best lovers are friends as well.

There is a wide range of what fits within friendship, but I think it's commonality at its core. Partly proximity, at least in some cases, but largely based on interests. Good friendships go beyond that, where people feel some responsibility and obligation to one another. That's all I've got on the topic.

It can be a nod and wink or a real closeness. I'm not a real friend because I got a different kind of cool going on. I would help my cowboy friend out, but I'm not going horse riding with him. I love my neighbors , but I want go in there house if thier husband is not there. I just respect my brothers and never give them any dought about me. I respect their ladies and wives. Never look at them to long or spend my time talking to them. Always focus on my brothers.
