One Plus One Equals Two

One plus one equals two
You are my friend until the end
You’re here for me and I’m here for you
When my heart is broken on you I depend

The playground is tough
But you’re there for me still
The bullies are rough
But you’re there for me still

After school you come around
This is fun I wish the day isn’t done
Our friendship is found
You are my number one

A bully then comes and is about to punch you
But I catch his fist and push it back
He walks away and we do too
I don't think he will come back
We walk and it's just us two
I always will have you're back
I trust you will have mine too

After all, one plus one will always equal two
