Ode to Best Friend

If only I knew

Who was making you blue

I’d go and beat ‘em up every time.

I’d drive for miles

Just to make you smile,

And knowing you, you’d be along for the ride.

We fly 2000 miles,

Just to be near

When we need each other the most.

Boys came and went

And the two best stayed

Look at these beautiful lives we’ve made.

Sometimes we cry,

Most times we laugh

All feelings are up for debate.

It’s what best friends do.

We still buy those

Half heart necklaces, charms, and gifts.

We’ll always cheer

The other one on.

You hate who I hate,

No questions asked.

You tell me I look great

Even when I’m sick.

It’s what best friends do.

I'll always be your courage

When you need help

You'll always be my spine

When I might back down.

You make me stronger,

Knowing you makes me more.

I don’t know where I’d be now

Without you in my life.

Family is what we make it,

The family we choose.

I’ve been given a sister for life

By knowing you.
