Well I for one am happy
The sadness creeps into an abyss
It cannot reach me when I am with you
It will  be forever true
Shakespeare spoke "I have rather loved
and lost than to have never loved at all."
Those are the words embedded in my heart and mind
But I would also rather be in love than despair
And for you have granted me such a courtesy

I even used to doubt my knowledge of love
But I realize it doesn't matter
For love does not know age
and for it does not know mine
So in truth I could know all
As long as I am with someone
Someone who can keep the dark away
And the roses, sunshine and happiness immortal

You've known me for as long as anyone
And we were friends before and now still
One wise old woman told me
that you cannot love what you do not know
And the same goes for hate
In sense you have to know
truly know someone
And how can you know anyone better
than you know your friends

You were there after the first heartbreak
The one that ruined it all
I couldn't bear trying
trying to keep something up like that again
And for a long time I couldn't
Nothing of meaning or note
But that is why I am happy
You were not my first but my second kiss
I couldn't bear to hurt you then
For I was in no shape for a relationship
One so meaningful
With you
So I am entirely thankful that you were and have always been
one of my best friends
