You were my best friend for years <br />You held my hand when there were tears <br />You scared away all my fears <br />You were my best friend <br />You were the one I went to when I was down <br />When my world lost all ground <br />the only one who could turn my frown upside down <br />You were my best friend <br />Then she came along and took you away <br />I beged for you to stay <br />I hated you after that day <br />You were my best friend <br />She told you not to talk to any girls <br />Aparently that included me <br />And it really hurt but I didn’t want you to see <br />You were my best friend <br />I was glad you were happy <br />But hurt cause what u did was crappy <br />You were my best friend <br />When I see you I put on the smile that says im sweet <br />You’re just like another stranger in the street <br />But you were my best friend<br /><br />Winifred Harkness<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/you-were-my-best-friend-3/
