Kindest, Sweetest Girl

You're the sweetest girl I've ever met
Your kind and pretty too
We have been friends for so long
And have done everything we could possibly do

Ever since we were little kids
We were always side by side
And when we grew up even as teens
It was always in each other we could confide

Then I heard the terrible news
That you were moving far away
I couldn't believe we would drift apart
I wished terribly inside you would stay

But before I knew it you were gone
Off to start a whole new life
I knew it was good for you to meet some new friends
I only hoped you would chose the ones that were right

Without you here everything seemed dull
Without your spirit to life me up
But I tried to stay joyful through the days
Just knowing you were happy was enough

Your life changed drastically
It might have scared me a bit
You were no longer a quiet nerd
But a popular bombshell, I know its hard to admit

You met a guy you seriously liked
The feeling I had was not good
I don't think he saw the sweetness in your heart
But you stayed with him like I knew you would

Now here is something I need you to understand
Guys like him are not looking for love
The're only looking for a good time
Something my friend you are far above

I know it's hard to except
Because he treated you so well
But guys can put on a mask
Whether the're lying you can never tell

dumped for the silliest of reasons
yet you refuse to give up
so much time you've invested
why is love never enough

Now at this point in time
When you needed support the most
Your "friends" just abandoned you
Something we would never do on the coast

I know you love your "friends"
And your "friends" love you most
But there is something I want you to consider
Now please listen close

Would they love you if you were ugly?
Would they love you if you were poor?
Would they love you if you were unique?
Because I would love you even more

Now I'm going to end this like I started
Because I know you love it when I do
Your the Kindest, sweetest girl I've ever met
And we have been through everything we can possible go through
