When you asked me today 
Y'day why I didn't talk to you, 
I didn't have much to explain, 
From my mouth the words just flew.  

I didn't have much control  
On whatever I said. 
But I sure felt much better 
And my sorrows seemed to fade. 

I think that is what friendship is all about 
It brings out the real me 
It makes me feel 'I am not just anyone', 
It fills my heart with glee. 

I know not how to express myself 
I know not how to speak too 
But one thing I know for sure 
My best friend is you. 

I know this is a horrible poem 
With words jumbled here an' there 
I hope you understand my feelings 
And know that I truly care. 

I know I have hurt you many a time 
I caused much pain too 
I hope you'd forgive me for this 
I always complain, I always rue. 

I feel hurt when others complain 
When others object to what I do 
I never step into other's shoes 
Never perceiving what they view.

I'll never complain against you 
I know, it makes you feel bad 
I like the way you are, my friend 
Your sorrow makes me sad. 

I thank you for being there 
For being with me all the while 
Your presence makes me happy 
And makes life life, my heart shine.  

I want you to be my friend 
Through good times or through strife 
Let me know when you are in sorrow, 
I'd protect you with my life. 

I want to see you glad 
Throughout your life, happy and gay. 
Let me know if you ever feel sad, 
I will be there to find a way. 

Our friendship is truly precious 
Its something divine. 
It sure boosts me a lot 
And fills my life with shine. 

It really hurts a lot  
When someone hurts me  
But it sure is much lessened 
When I have someone like thee. 

So be there, my friend 
As long as I live 
Never walk away from this friendship 
Tomorrow you may not see me. 

If you can't be there, think about me a while 
Your thoughts would make my day. 
Those small thoughts would make me smile 
From my life, please, never walk away.
