You, dear one, are a true friend
So genuine your love and care
Not for something in return
Trust, we both strongly share

You see inside my heart
Know the truth upon my lips
Is meant with love for you
When reality seems to slip

You do the same for me
And if by chance a hurt occurs
We're sincere to forgive
During times our vision blurs

We wish the best for one another
Encouragement, no matter what
On each other we can depend
Heart and soul is never shut

Your unconditional friendship
Overlooks my human faults
Allows some views to differ
But our friendship never halts

Friendship takes time:
time to get to know each other,
time to build shared memories,
time to invest in each other's growth.
