Dear best friend,
Show me there's a reason to love
Teach me how to commit to love
Be the ear I can tell my plies
The bottle that'd never hear my lies
Strip me bare of my ugly emotions
Discover my true state in all situations
Lighten these burdens I carry on my chest
Be that shoulder on which I can rest
Miss me like you miss no other
Be jealous when I'm with another
Stick to me as moon sticks to earth
Be there for me in sickness and health
Show me love without gloss or guile
Be the reason why I'd always smile
Be the voice of which my tales are told
Hold my hands until we grow old
I ask these for it's all I pledge to do
Because the joy I seek abounds in you
Your poor lonely best friend
