Childhood best friend,
my crush flies free,
helps dreams extend
as wishes flee.
Your smile depends
on me to be,
frustrations bend,
hopes crawl with me.
Each day is yours,
create our speed.
You are my cure
for lonely needs.
Laughter is pure,
fulfills all deeds.
Feel so secure,
when we agree.
Partners in crime,
my closest peer,
each tree we climb
erases tears.
Loud giggles chime
in both our ears,
linger past time,
throughout the years.
Footprints trace steps,
heartbeats follow.
Secrets that wept
tied tomorrow.
We both accept,
wide and narrows.
My trust you kept,
endless shadow.
