You're friends say, <br />we'll always be there. <br /> <br />Family say it, <br />it is the truth. <br /> <br />Boyfriends say, <br />they'll never leave. <br /> <br />Before you know it, <br />that boy is long gone. <br /> <br />So are you're friends, <br />because you chose him. <br /> <br />But you're family, <br />is always there for you. <br /> <br />No matter what, <br />if you're doing drugs. <br /> <br />Even when you have a problem, <br />with your friends or you're man. <br /> <br />With your friends, <br />they are the drug. <br /> <br />With your boyfriend, <br />he caused the problem. <br /> <br />With all your friends, <br />that's his fault. <br /> <br />It is also yours too, <br />kissing him. <br /> <br />Making a decision, <br />you know is wrong. <br /> <br />Picking the right choice, <br />makes the others all right too. <br /> <br />Coming home to your family, <br />all confused and heartbroken. <br /> <br />They tell you everything, <br />will slowly come back into place. <br /> <br />You know they are right, <br />they love you more than him. <br /> <br />So why not choose them, <br />and still get the rest. <br /> <br />You know why, <br />that can't happen. <br /> <br />So choose your family, <br />then everything will fall into place. <br /> <br />You'll get your friends back, <br />but probably not your boyfriend. <br /> <br />Trust me, <br />I am family. <br /> <br />All the rest is friends, <br />and boyfriends. <br /> <br />Family comes before friends, <br />friends come before boyfriends.<br /><br />Heather Cropper<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/boys-don-t-rule/
