My Best Friend

I'm not looking for just a lover

Or someone who just has the looks 

I'm not looking for someone with money

Or who's learning only comes from some books.

I'm looking for someone who I can talk to

Who'll listen to what I have to say

Someone who I can feel safe with

Who'll be there for me every day.

Someone who can make me laugh

But not be afraid to shed a tear

Be my light when times are dark

Be the love that casts out fear.

Someone who gives the best hugs

And my unraveled ends can mend

Who'll be there for me day or night

What I looking for is my best friend.
