Friends and Acquaintances

I'm an odd person when it comes to friends.
I have a few I call my "best friends", but what I mean by that is they are my closest friends...at the time.
I've gone through quite a few best friends, but there's always someone else there to take the title when it's time for a "best friend" to go.
I call them best friends, because I feel like it shows that they're close to me.
They're the people I care most about.
And the people I hope will always be there.
But there are people who I don't call best friends, and I don't want to lose them either.

I feel like I need a new policy.
Or a new name for my besties.
Because really, one friend is not better then another, and saying "Best Friend" is indeed saying that one friend is the best.

They're more than just acquaintances.
They each have their flaws.
They all drive me insane at times.
But I love them all.
And I don't want to feel like I keep losing friends just because they're no longer my "best friend".

And so ends the streak of new and old best friends.
Brothers, wives, lovers, super close friends.
All will be just that.
No bests.
No ex-bests.
Just, my close friends, that I will always love.
