How to be a friend?

When your ex asks to be just friends, what do u do?

What is a friend?
What is the job of a friend?
Is it to stand beside?
Is it to lend a shoulder to cry?
Is it a way to confide?
Or is it a way to fool your mind?

"An ex saying 'you can still be friends' is like a parent saying 'your dog died, but hey you can still keep it."

I read this because I don't think I have many good friends. But maybe I'm too close-minded about what makes a friend.

...No, I know I'm not.

When I broke up with my boyfriend about six months ago, he said we could still be friends. And we actually did. Maybe I just liked him better as a friend. Either way I'm probably completely unhelpful.

Very thought-provoking poem.

A friend will accept you for your weaknesses and strength. They may laugh at you when you are a fool. But you can always return the favor. A interesting question. We have few real friends in life. A lucky person has many good friends in a life. A very good poem.
