Friend

We started off as friends

Those late night phone calls seemed to never end

I could talk to you about whateva

Never crossed my mind you'd be so damn clever

You knew me better than I knew myself

Gave me great advice on how to keep up with my health

Cuz I was way passed stressed out

Mentally...emotionally...physically

But you healed me spiritually

Came out of nowhere like my knight in shining armor

To have the chance to be with you was an honor

I looked up to you like my father

Cuz eventhough he wasn't always around

He knew just what to say to turn my frown, upside down

You made me smile when I didn't want to

Laugh to my stomach hurt

Cry till there were no tears left

But they were tears of happiness

Cuz you knew just how to capture the best of my emotions

You made me wanna catch a sail and sail the oceans

Get away from all the drama

It was the little things that mattered

Like a phone call from yo mama

To tell you, baby I love you

Our friendship was sweet like sweet potatoe pie

Cuz that's my favorite

But you know that

Like my favorite color is purple

Or my favorite food is Italian

You knew everything and I never had to remind you

Cuz you paid attention

Not like all those other dudes

Na you were the one

We spent so much time together

You always there for me and I was there for you

Hell, we were inseparable

Flyer than any thousand dollar collectible

And yes, you can say I said that

We use to hang out at all times of the night

You had my back when me and "ole boy" use to fight

About absolutely nothing, but you couldn't tell me nothing

Cuz I was in love, spelt L.O.V.E

To bad I didn't have enough for me

But you did

Way more than I could imagine

It was like heaven and you were Aladdin

Riding on his magic carpet to get his Jazmine

I'm so glad you came into my life

I sit here hoping to one day become your wife.

Tha Virtuous One™
