Friendship Quote by Keyshia Cole

“If I could have a guy - somebody I could picture being with for the rest of my life - they would be like a girl friend, but a guy friend. When I think about being hurt, I think about how my homegirls would not do certain things to me. I hope my guy would be the same and love me genuinely.” quote by Keyshia Cole
