For My Best Friend

No one in this world knows me like you do.
How I think, what I like, who I am, what I'm about.
And though sometimes you may not agree with me,
You still love and care about me without a doubt.

We didn't get to where we are today on the easy road.
Both of us down and out, searching for someone to trust.
We began as casual friends, and grew closer over time.
We shared as much as we could at first, because truth was a must.

Eventually we became very close, expressing our deepest desires.
Telling truths of our lives, our secrets and our fears.
We've been through pretty much everything together

The ups and downs of life, the smiles and the tears.

You always tell me what you think, never holding back

You give me constructive criticism, you always know what to say.

And although sometimes I fight the reality of it all

You're seldom wrong and always know why things turn out that way.

So this is my poem for you, my closest and dearest friend,

Because I appreciate and love you for who you are to me.

Never in my life could I have ever hoped for someone

As wonderful and sincere a friend as you will always be.
