You're the friend I feel closest to.
There have been so many times when
I gave you all my fears and hurts,
and each time you gave back a heart
filled with love and concern,
a shoulder to rest my worries upon,
and a tranquility found nowhere else
on earth.

You're the friend who means
so much to me,
the one I'm thinking of right now,
the one who feels like family in my heart.
And more than anything else,
I want you to know that I'm here for you,
just as you've always been for me...

Because you're the best friend I have.
