It's not who you love or who loves you back. It's who is there for you when you really need them. The person who can step in and step back to see that you have been lagging behind, and with a gentle hand and a soft smile they take your hand, pulling you forward with them. In the end, it is those persons we should fight to keep. The ones that have been staying though they themselves have been struggling in some areas. It's now your duty to do the pulling - as they had before thoughtlessly done for you.
