It is a love that chooses you
when there is nothing to make it stay.

A love that says
«I have seen you at your lowest,
I have seen you at your highest
and I will persevere.
Not because I feel obligated to or because we signed a contract
but simply because you are you. Because you matter to me.»

Friendship is the kind of love that doesn’t need a lot of grand gestures
but it’s the kind that chooses to make small gestures that mean a lot.

It drives out of its way to drop off treats at your door when you’re not feeling well.
It sends surprise notes in the mail to say «I’m thinking of you.»
It sends messages without needing a reply when you’re going through a tough time. Because it knows that you might not have the energy to respond.
But it wants you to know that it’s here.

Yes, friendship is the kind of love that chooses to exist.

The kind of love that chooses you for no other reason than the fact that you are you.

And that’s why it is so incredibly special.
