When you first meet someone and get to know them a little, it's like watching the ocean from a distance. Perfect, just as you would have imagined it. As time goes by, you get closer and notice the sea weed and debris floating in the water. You get the feeling you should step away. But if you don't, if you walk long enough to reach the water, you'll feel the magnificence of the ocean. You can still see the sea weed, but you can swim into the ocean and forget about it. It's not perfect, you know that, but it's satisfying and what you desire ... it's friendship ...

"Friendship is when people know all about you and still like you."
