Friend Quote by Rachel Van Dyken
““You refused to be my friend. And everyone wants to be my friend, for whatever reasons they have. But you pushed, which meant you were the good ones. And when you looked at me, It wasn't about what I had. It was what I was lacking." "You like me because I find your faults?" "H*ll no. I like you because you make me want to fix them.””
