If you're staring at a screen right now;
If this moment's brought you here
There's at least a 1 in 7 billion chance,
That I hold you highest, dear.
I haven't put you on a pedestal;
Nor found a friend more true.
Not a soul could take your place-
You are the one and only you.
I'll never be able to repay the comfort,
Or the joy you've given me.
My only hope in sweet return
Is reminding you of beautiful simplicity.
Back to the days we laughed til we cried;
When we had no heartaches or cares.
Nothing that bothered us any more
Than what we decided on to wear.
I miss the times we felt so free;
I took for granted those nights.
Take now for granted, I will no longer
I swear to keep the present in sight.
Life has enough to complicate
Without needing help from us two...
So I'll do what I may to make nostalgia stay,
To be your best friend, Kaitlyn Lou.

To be your best friend, Kaitlyn Lou.
For the best human I'll always believe I will ever know.
