Best Friend Ever

From the first time we went out
To dinner and bowling and pool
Right away, I placed all the trust I could build
In the radiant light of you

Your charisma, charm, and enlivening smile
Reached a place in me never before felt
I opened up to you like no other
And told you the story of my life dealt

You told me your trials
And they touched me deep inside
I know of all the struggles
Of growing up rough, and handling it in stride

Together we found a happier world
Where we had each other despite our flaws
Nothing could tear us apart
At least I believed those were the laws

My only true friend, here in person
Someone I shared with the innermost me
And someone to build a future with
Who I would love in life and beyond, honestly

I wanted to explore the world with you
Because your joy was my pleasure
I wanted to grow old with you
With a passion that can't be measured

Who else can I trust
That I wanted to know the real me
I wanted you to love all the parts
The ones no one else could ever see

I wanted to show only you the side
That cared and loved and protected to the core
And listened so intently
To all you said and more

Without you no one gets it
No one to tell me days to
To bask in my successess
And hold me up when I'm blue

I work so hard to impress you
Even though you love me regardless
I swallow my pride so easily
Only for you, my dear one, I enter these recesses
