What you expect from a friend

Was just asked by one of my friends to write what i expect from a friend.
Found it so tough to write things i have never ever thought about but which are so very part of my personality and my day to day thought life.
Yes i do expect some qualities from my friends no matter how hard i try to deny this fact.
For someone like me who is a mystery within myself...I expect my friend to :
1) Understand my silence - My silence speaks more than my words. I try to confide to myself as much as possible. As far as the many people that i have come across i hardly find someone who can understand this silence.

2) One who cares for me: The word care could mean so much . One who can understand ur needs , give priority to ur needs. I dont know how to break up this word; but it definitely is one power-packed word

3) One who does not compel me into anything: I like to do things my way and at my time. I would not like someone who would tell me wht i need to do. Yes i definitely do like people who take interest in what i do but the decision is left to me to take

4) One who can keep secrets: Its only after lots of trust that i speak to people about things very personal to me and once its out..... I can never trust that person and be the same i was before. Secrets need to be kept. Thats the golden truth of friendship to me

5) One who corrects me with Love: Would like to be told what is wrong but like an accuser and asked for immediate action. One who can make me realise where i was wrong and why.

6) One who is available for me: Not all the time. But yet there are times when i would like to just be around.Normal chit chat . Not doing any extra-ordinary things but just spending some time together( quality time) :D

7) One who can talk and has a good sense of humor: Guess i need to laugh and be happy so i need somoene who can make me smile and laugh and with whom i have a conversation for hours without feeling bored ........Sounds so very filmi :)

Guess my list would go on and on and on........

No matter how big my list goes on i know only person can fill in all the criteria. Its Jesus. I know he can just give the best embrace possible. Make me feel so much at ease that i myself automatically just can pour out myself without a thought. One with whom i dont have to think before i speak. I know he understands my words and my silence. My unsaid words, my tears, my anguish, my fears ....name it and HE knows it..........Lucky to have found a friend like HIM.
And He has brought so many friends in my life who have walked in and walked out and left sweet memories and filled in the space which i needed. They met few of my expectations and failed in few but above all they were there at the right time in my life and taught me the right things in life. Now thats wht i call God's perfect timing. Never too early never too late.
