Let's Talk About Friends

How do you classify friends?
Acquaintance, friend, cool friend, close friend and finally the best friend which may evolve into the BFF.
I have a lot of these but I'm missing a section. that's right everyone.
The BFF.
Sure, anyone who is nice and funny and close to me is MY BFF, TragedyTeen. Gee, what's your deal?
A lot.
Friends are special for me and they must be considered with care. Just because you have lots in common etc. that means, wow! BFF 5EVER!
Wrong.
Everything that connects you and that person is just a string. A fiber in a rope. It get's thicker and thicker but the things that saws them apart? That's important. Make sure you're not holding onto a frail piece of string. Don't fool yourself.
I've been fooled.
It will never happen again.
Ever. Again.
Experience is the Best Teacher.
