Always My Friend

by

Laura Beth Leither

It was the summer of '97, When we first met
Through a mutual friend, And we were set
Just out of Junior High, How could we have known
That our fresh and new friendship, Was already full grown?
We were young then, And thought we should date
But quickly we learned, It wasn't out fate
Closer and closer, Friends we became
Laughing all night, And playing "pager games"
We helped each other out, With problems we had
Like homework and parents, And dates that were bad
You always let me know, When you didn't approve
Of boyfriends I had, You tried not to be rude
You enjoyed to party, Drink and do drugs
I stayed your friend always, When push came to shove
You drove me around, In your new car
Taking me home, Even when it was far
You cleaned up your act, And met a girl
I didn't know her well, But tensions did swirl
Then you came to tell me, The trouble you ahd
You thought I'd dislike you, And think you were bad
But you were wrong, As you should have known
I'll always be there for you, We're just friendship prone
The new baby came, And you were scared
Now suddenly a father, So unprepared
But you learned fast, And changed your scheme
To always be there for Michael, You guys are a team
Now we're both out of High School, And still good friends
No matter what happens, We're friends to the end
'Because You Loved Me,' Was our song
Though unknown before, It's fit us all along
So if you move to Colorado, Like you have said
Just remember to call me, Now and again
And if I become famous, As I've always dreamed
You'll still hold a place in my heart, For which you can lean
'Cause I'll be there for you always, No matter what
Wherever we go, We'll keep in touch
So now as we continue, The bumpy road through life
I wish you best, Without much strife
And thank you for being, Just like a bro'
You've meant more to me, Than I may show
