Best Friend

You tell the saddest stories that I have ever heard
Yet you carry around a smile that hides that you were ever hurt
You keep your heart locked up and not many know the password
But you're still the best friend that anyone could ask for

You're so full of potential and you've hope for your future
You make mistakes but you're able to laugh them off like bloopers
You've overcome so much, I understand that you're a trooper
And anyone who meets you says
"I'm so grateful I knew her"

When I need help, you never lend a hand
You lend an arm
You go about your days with an unending friendly charm
You inspire me
With everything you do, you raise the bar
You may not think you're perfect, but you're my best friend as you are
