To My Friend

To My Friend 

I have to tell you something

You are important for me

To share the interesting

And the mundane

I have to tell you something

You are that friend

Who gets to see me

When I am mad and when sane

I have to tell you something

You are free to live your life

I will be around if needed

Patiently waiting in my lane

I have to tell you something

You may not always want me around 

And that’s fine too

I lose some and some I gain

I have to tell you something

You make me laugh heartily 

But you can also hurt

Nothing good comes without a li’l pain

I have to tell you something

You are one of a kind

There can be no comparisons 

To me it is that simple and plain
