When tears fall from my eyes,
You are there to brush them aside.
When i stood before you falling apart,
You are there to lend your heart.
When i feel like no-one can understand,
You are there to take my hand.
When no-one is left to care,
You are the one who is always there.
For this i am forever grateful,
Having you as my friend.
And for that i hope our friendship,
Will never end.
