A best friend is someone who loves you
You can tell them all of your secrets
They listen to all of your stories

A best friend is someone who accepts you
Someone who supports you
A person who treats you special

A best friend is someone you look forward to seeing
You laugh with them
You wish you could spend eternity with them

A best friend is something everyone needs to have
Someone who never judges you
Someone who respects you

A best friend is someone not feared
Someone who does not make you cry
They won't put you down

A best friend does not say hurtful things
They do not ignore you when you speak
They apologize when they are in the wrong

A best friend should not be intimidating
You are supposed to feel comfortable
You should be able to talk about everything

So what do I call you?

You say you love me
But you have disrespected me

You make me fearful
You hurt my feelings

I bow down to you
Because I do not want you to be angry

What are you to me?

If you are ever to read this
Take it to heart
I am not brave enough to say these words aloud

Because I am scared of you
And that's not fair
Read the first line again
