A Best Friend Should Be

A Best friend should be,
forever by your side
stick to you like a flea,
in case you need a guide.
A best friend should be
trustworthy, and true
Like the sand and the sea
Sees your humour too.
A best friend shouldn't be
Subjective and Judgemental
be the leaves to your tree
Caring, protective and gentle.
A best friend should be,
like your sibling too,
There for you and me
Always a true blue.
