Family by Heart, Not Blood

I can trust you with my problems,
Trust you not to tell them,
Trust you to always listen,

Offer advice when it is needed,
You know me deep inside,
Know what makes me cry,

You know if I lie,
Try to hold my pain inside,
You know when I am bothered,

You offer a hand of comfort,
Two open arms for a loving hug,
You know what cheers me up,

You know that sometimes silence is ok,
Bringing me peace in the midst of pain,
I love you more than life,

Will die for you instead,
Even if it means a painful slow death,
For you I’d take the bullet,

For you I’ll risk the chance,
You do that for me enough,
I can’t even express my thanks at heart,

Just for you I’ll take the plunge,
I’ll run from New York to California,
From California back to New York,

I’ll do it 100 times more,
But that only begins to express my love,
I’d give up everything I own,

Everything I cherish and love at heart,
I’d give it all up for you to be with me,
Friends forever it has seemed,

Since birth it’s been you and me,
Wouldn’t change a single thing,
I’d still choice to be close to you.

You’re my family by heart, not by blood,
Knowing me better than the world,
My feelings I can only begin to show,

I can only go so far with words,
The rest I hope you learn to know,
You’re my angel in my heart,

Without you, I’d be lost,
Because of you I’ll free,
Knowing there is peaceful arms of love for me.
