Best Friends

Don't take them for granted.

Don’t you push me away. Don’t you dare. I’ll give you ten reasons why, ten years why you can’t do that to me. I’ve spent more time in your house than my own. I’ve lent things of mine that only to you I would loan. You are my rock, my constant, a never changing pillar. You have been worked into the foundation of my being, and I into yours.

I have years worth of late night conversations, stockpiles filled with memories of our creation. Reservoirs overflowing with our laughter. Next to our hearts, there is a bottle filled with each other’s secrets. It’s gone unused for a while now. I can feel you, slowly, slyly, nudging me away. You’re trying not to be rude, you’re trying but I pray, that you stop cuz unless you’re willing to look me in my face, and tell me that our friendship is a lost one with no base, be prepared for me to chase after you like there isn’t a tomorrow. I can’t accept this loss right now I cannot take this sorrow.

I just wanna spend time with my best friend. Wanna be around my never second guessed friend. My better than all the rest friend. Call you at one in the morning to help me with a test friend. My never have to try to impress friend. My never thought you would see me as a pest... friend.

The time best friends spend together multiplies, till it feels like you’ve lived eons in tandem, it can’t be random that we were put in the same spot on this earth. So don’t push me away. Don’t nudge me out of your life, and don’t think for a second that I’ll let you without a fight.
