A companion, in plain, is someone who stands with you and exhibits all the tenets of friendship. A companion is someone who accompanies (see the structure of that word!) you from place to place or even through life. A true companion is unwavering in his or her friendship, and, as you do for them, they always 'have your back".
A true companion is that pearl of great price indeed!
