A friend

Someone who can make you laugh out loud
at the silliest of things, and be just as goofy as you,
no matter your age.
There never are any biting words or disdainful remarks if
you are not practically perfect.
Watching a movie? Both thinking the same thing
and talking about it without a "Shhh!"
Someone who has a strong shoulder to cry on and wonderfully
wise words when you really need them.
Who can even make chores seem fun...
Who you hate to say goodbye to,
but look forward to saying hello as soon as you can.
A best friend seems like the other half of your smile.
