ABC’s of Friendship

Mungkin selama ini saya lah yang salah dalam menilai apa itu 'persahabatan' dan siapakah 'teman' itu, maka setelah kejadian 5 hari yang lalu, saya keliling-keliling browsing internet, nyari definisinya dengan keyword 'friend' dan 'friendship' lalu inilah di antara yang saya dapatkan:

A friend does most of these:
(A)ccepts you as you are
(B)elieves in "you"
(C)alls you just to say "HI"
(D)oesn't give up on you!
(E)nvisions the whole of you (even the unfinished parts)
(F)orgives your mistakes
(G)ives unconditionally
(H)elps you
(I)nvites you over
(J)ust "be" with you
(K)eeps you close at heart
(L)oves you for who you are
(M)akes a difference in your life(N)ever Judges
(O)ffer support
(P)icks you up
(Q)uiets your fears
(R)aises your spirits(S)ays nice things about you
(T)ells you the truth when you need to hear it
(U)nderstands you
(V)alues you(W)alks beside you
