Dearest Friend

I walk alongside you
People always used to seeing us two

Like my sister you are
But I'm afraid I'm too far

Nothing similar in personality
I'm locked in a cage
While your free....

Always smiling
So cheery and bright
I envy you and it gives me a fright

You fill your head with child-like dreams
Believing in hope and purity
It always seems to me like such immaturity

Talking of boy bands through the halls
Always makes me wanna throw up in bathroom stalls

I don't understand how you see things
But I know the joy it brings

I see its all authentical
Not like me,
Not artificial

I'm jealous because your happy and free
Like any girl my age should be

I've always thought myself smarter than you
I know I am
I know that's true

But I never once considered the price of knowledge
It makes you see things
Makes you feel like garbage

And I'm sorry if I've ever brought you down
I see it happen when I'm around

I just have no one to talk to
Just one person- and that's you

Keep these words close to your heart:

Your innocence you should always treasure
Never lose it
Keep it forever

And please, never forget
Happiness is something you'll never regret

The price of knowing isn't worth paying
When you finally fall on your knees and start praying

Dont ever give up your joy
Because it truly is the real McCoy

And no matter what happens never fell guilt
Everything I fell, I built

I've always loved you, I hope you know that
I've always cared, I hope I showed that

Because your my best friend
And you'll be with me till the end

And I just don't know what I'd do without you
