Best Friends Forever
A promise I intended to keep
I thought it was simple enough
Though now I know I reckoned without remembering
that we were no longer in the same crowd.

You were forever comparing,
me to you
what I'd gotten to what you'd gotten
what I'd done to what you'd done.
I was the friend you could count upon to be there
even when you never were there for me.

I put up with it
because you were my first real best friend in three years
Never let you down,
though you had done it to me more times than I can count

At that time,
I couldn't bring myself to hate you
Now, I can't either

You made me feel like I had a friend,
yet like I was so inadequate a friend to you
I was not perfect,
but neither were you.
