"You" before "Me" even after "C"

Best friends forever,
that's what we'll always be,
and that is why I will always
keep you close to me.

We may fight sometimes
and fuss at each other,
but we both know
that we love one another.

I can tell you anything,
and you can tell me too,
just think of all the things
you've helped me through.

We laugh more than we breathe,
we break out randomly into song,
they all know we will be
friends forever long.

No one can break us apart,
though it's fun to watch them try,
even though they know
we won't let it fly.

You're my best friend,
my strength and my core,
you're the one that keeps me grounded,
and we'll be friends forever more.

"I" before "E" except after "C",
"two" always comes before "three",
and I will always put
"You" before "Me".

Author notes

P.S. When it says "You're the one that keeps me grounded", i'm not talking about being in trouble.

    Wow, that is so touching! If you actually read this out to your friend, they would never forget you and would always be your friend, I'm sure of that. It flowed beautifully and great rhyming too! I really liked the title, I knew from which phrase it came from 'I before E, except after C'. The last line is especially touching, comparing it to all the rules of spelling and mathematics. You really deserve all these trophies! =)
    Good luck in the contest! =D
    By the way, may I use this for my best friend?
    (You know I'm joking, right? I would never copy from someone else, it's their creation. =P)

    This is an amazing poem. I really liked how it flowed. Only question I have is I'm not sure what part of my family you want to be. Just let me know. Thanks for entering. God Bless!

    A lovely tribute, a cute title, but the 2nd verse steals the attention away from everything that comes after it. It's the cute part, the clever part. Everything else is just plain vanilla unmetered poetry with two words that happen to rhyme in each verse. Thanks for entering.

    This was so beautiful; what a gorgeous dedication to your friend, and I sincerely hope that your friendship lasts as long as forever is for both of you.

    This verse, was particularly touching,

    ""I" before "E" except after "C",
    "two" always comes before "three",
    and I will always put
    "You" before "Me"."


    How absolutely adorable was that!! You composed it perfectly; it's like something you'd read on a greeting card - certainly any friend would love to get a "just because" card with this on it! Thanks for entering it she's lucky to have a friend like you!

    wow. this poem is amazing, because i can really relate to it. it takes alot for me to get emotional over a poem, but some just hit my hear strings and that's one this one did, it brought tears to my eyes. my best friend passed away nearly three years ago - we had a relationship like the one you describe here, and though we're separated for now, we'll still be friends forever! thanks for entering this poem, it brought back some good memories. (and i dont give official applause in contests, but *insert 3clappy men here*

    Good poem

    Your poem is really good. It reminds me of my best friends. The third part is so true. When my friends and I fight we always end up talking before the night is through. Again good job

    i like the ryhming but it got a little inconsistent toward the end if you know what i mean.
    "I" before "E" except after "C",
    "two" always comes before "three",
    and I will always put
    "You" before "Me".
    i love those lines

    Awh :)

    That's a very sweet poem.
    Reminds me of my best friend.

    In the last stanza though you wrote "you're thw onw that keeps me grounded."

    I'm sure you meant 'the one'

    Great write.
