Preparing myself for the worst
Thinking that there is no hope left
And suddenly word comes to me
Telling me that you aren't leaving
You are staying close and I don't need to worry
For you will always be close by
I should have known that you wouldn't leave me
You've never gone very far from me
Only this time, I was truly afraid
I really thought that I was going to lose you
Then you come back and surprise me again
Just like you always seem to do
You are one of my best friends
I love you like a best friend should
Knowing you share that love for me
The feeling that we will always be there
To lift each other up when needed
To help bear the burden that weighs us down
To just be there as a best friend should be.
