Have a friend who wants me for me, and not just for what I can do for them

Had a best friend, so I thought. Laid my heart on the line and gave my all to the friendship. Unfortunately for me, being a true giver of the heart, I learned, too late, of course, this “friend” knew how to take, but never did give back. Ever. Had to learn the hard way she wasn’t the friend I thought she was. The friend she told me she would always be. That sucked hard! But, I’m not bitter or cynical about it (not much anyways) and if’n I am, I WILL get over it. Life is far too short to cry long, I figure. But another life’s lesson learned. Hope this doesn’t affect my ability to trust another enough to allow them close enough again. Oh well, c`est le vie. Tomorrow, after all, is another new day!
