what do you think makes up a great friend ?

For me, I guess a friend could be great if he/she cares for you, doesn't fade away and always understands you. I had a great friend once. I really thought she's the greatest. But then time passes by, our friendship faded. And until now, we haven't had any communication. This is one of the reasons why one of my opinions that a friend is made great if he/she doesn't fade away.

in my whole life i am longing a very good friend, a friend that i can really trust, a friend that would never fade,and a friend that can love me for what i am, no matter if what he/she is. to hAVe a very good friend is to be open to one another.
