Riddle This

Here is a quick little riddle for you:

"The less you have, the more valuable it is, what am I?"

The answer is "Friends", and this rings so true to me.  People who have many friends often take those relationships for granted as they feel somebody else can replace them, yet those that have many friends often times have no true friends.  While on the flip side, those who have few friends cherish them, and go the extra mile to keep them as those friendships is all they have, and those who have few friends often times only have true friends who will always be there for them.  This is me, this is why I value my two friends so much, I only have two people in my life I would honestly claim to be true friends, and they both know who they are, and there is nothing I wouldn't do for them and no length I wouldn't go to be there for them.  These two friendships are all I have, and they are also all I need, I trust these two with my life and dreams, and in many ways they are the most important individuals in my life.  I have many acquaintances, but I'm no fool, I tend to see right through people, I know who will turn on me in a moments notice, and I know who will truly protect me and always be there for me, and these two people I know in my heart will never turn their back to me, and in return I will never turn my back to them.

I don't want a lot of friends, that is not what I seek.  I only need the two I have, they are more than enough to complete who I am.  I trust them completely, and love them both dearly.  I'm willing to carry them both if needed, and if needed I would trust them to carry me.  Friendship is something you casually come across, friendship is a commitment and real friendship is rare to find, I've been blessed with these two wonderful women in my life, God knew what He was doing we brought us all together.  Without them I have nothing, they are my everything in life, and if someone ever tries to pull us apart, then believe me I will fight for them as they our everything to me.

It always seems sad to me, when people with many friends want to take from those with few friends, I guess in their minds it makes them feel dominant, but in reality its really sad.  Because they can comprehend how valuable the friendship their trying to destroy really are, they don't understand have precious a friendship truly is.  Often times they destroy friendships the mean the world to someone, and over time since they have many friends they grow tired of that person, and then you have two former friends who once meant the world to each other alone, and the person who destroyed just moves one to their next person of fancy.

The woman I love is one of my best friends, and the other is her mother, and they blood is thicker than water, but I can say their have been many moments blood has not been their but water has.  My loyalty to them both is unwavering and unquestioned, no matter what lies I here from anyone, my faith and heart lie with them.  My love for both is eternal, and I'll go to the grave loyal to them.  Even when we don't speak, I trust in them completely.  They have earned my respect and friendship, and I have tried hard to earn the same back.  Everything I have in my mind is also their's.  I fell in love with one of my best friends, and to be honest that is one of the greatest feelings in the world, and I wouldn't have it any other way.  And truth be told I have no desire to love anyone else, all I need is her, and all I need is my two friends, if we could all disappear tomorrow I would go and never look back.  Complete trust and love is rare in today's friendships, but I have two friend's who I have both these traits in, and they have mine.  No matter what happens, or what you say, or what you do, my bond with them is eternal, and that is simply the truth.  You wonder why I don't run away from them, because nothing you can give me is worth giving them up and nothing you can do to me is worth giving them up, they to me are priceless, and worth every thing the world can possibly throw at me.
