Best Friend

How does it feel

when your best friend goes away?

No one there to support you.

On your own, each day.

 

Your sister, your friend,

your teammate, and guide.

Always included in feelings

and decisions from your mind.

 

Being there for you

each step of the way.

Never ever leaving your side,

no matter how the day.

 

Good times, bad times.

They are there for it all.

Helping you solve problems

that are big or small.

 

When the whole world

turns their back on you,

and you feel sad and afraid,

and you don't know what to do.

 

You can always ask your best friend

to guide you on that path.

No matter what the deal is

even there for the aftermath.

 

So close together,

can't be taken apart.

From your fights to your memories,

you're in one another's heart.

 

A person in this world

which no one can replace.

Their mind, their spirit,

their soul and their face.

 

Hand in hand,

and soul in soul.

Together or apart,

you'll always be gold.

 

No matter what the distance,

don't you ever forget.

The days we spend together,

and the first day that we met.
