Forever Friend
by
Laura Beth Leither
We started high school as two young souls
We officially met when you asked me to a show
Not wanting a boy, I turned you down
However, your loving heart and tender friendship I kept around.
Though we were so different I can't explain
How we stayed the best of friends, without much pain
We stood up for each other without a second thought
It was like we had bonded into a knot.
You were always there to listen to my problems
You always knew the answer to help me solve 'em.
When my heart was broke you knew why
You came running up with a shoulder to cry.
In your eyes I was 'The Perfect Blonde'
You kept me smilin' on and on.
In english class I wasn't so good
You helped me out just like I knew you would.
We kind of grew apart as the years passed by
But I never doubt, you'd be there to help me fly.
You introduced me to my new love
If it wasn't for you, I'd still be a lonely dove.
We've always helped each other out too
I always knew I could turn to you.
Now it seems almost unreal
That you moved and I'm here still
I hope in time, we'll keep in touch
But if we don't just remember: I'll always miss, thank, and love you so much!
