You Will Always Be My Best Friend  

~Barbara Lantosca

Some time ago
I received a special gift,
and it came in the form of you,
    my best friend.
You are so important to me,
    and I want to thank you
       for all the wonderful memories.
My friend, whenever I see you,
    I am reminded of myself.
Whenever I think of you, I am reminded
    of all good times we've had.
Together we've done so much,
    seen so much, and felt so much.
With a knowing smile.
I look back at the shared times
    and all the things only you and I know.
With high hopes and great expectations,
I look ahead to the future
    and all the things only you and I
        will share.
You not only put a smile on my face,
    you put a smile in my heart.
You will always be my best friend
