My dear Friend
I always wished that what happened
Between us will disappear
The past is still haunting me
The past is hurting me
For things I wish I never did

I will always be there for you,
and I hope you will be there for me too,
for our friendship can never be broken,
I will remain loyal through all the good and the bad,
and in the end we will be glad,
because without you I am nothing,
as you are nothing without me,
we fill the space a lover couldn't fill,
for we hold each others secrets that we would never spill,
and the day you're gone, part of me goes too,
because I wouldn't want to be here with out you,

Hope you heard my cries at night
When I cry your name out
When I dream of you hurt from what I did
The joy is gone, and left me alone
Joy left no smiles on my face

I wish you’ll understand, and forgive me
My true friend
I want to cry so the whole world will hear me
But most of all I want to cry because of you not being with me
I promise you that we’ll make up for all the days
Forgive me and hope that
Best friends forever you and me,
nothing could ever change that.
It’s destiny!
Always remember that the only ship that would never sink is
“Friendship”.
