My Best Friend

I met him when I was ten.
I knew at that moment, he'd be my friend.
We were so crazy and had such fun.
Best friends we became in the long run.
Talking on the phone til late at night.
Talking out my problems felt so right.
Like family we were, love like a brother and sister.
Bonds so tight, we fit just right.
Best friends in all the place.
But when she came along, it became a race.
Best friend or girlfriend, who to choose?
I knew in my heart, I would lose.
She took him away from me and left me to be.
Without a brother, best friend of all.
The greatest friend, whom I couldn't call.
In my heart we were one, in my head we were done.
She took him away and he never came back to stay.


*We are now just OK friends, but not like we used to be. I miss you Justin...our friendship!
