Friend

When I first saw you  

I thought you were like the others 

But when I got to know you better  

I began to see something special  

I began to see a person  

A person who I could talk to  

A person who wouldn’t judge me  

A person who I could tell my secrets too 

A person who would help me when I was in trouble 

That person who I now call friend  

But it didn't stop there  

My friend began to change my being  

My friend that understood me like no other 

And I understood them as well as the back of my hand 

My friend that turned my frown upside down 

With just looking at me and smiling 

My friend who eventually became  

My best friend
