my best friend

I can't remember the last time

I felt so safe and so fine

I'm your arms I am home

I can feel it deep within my bones

and through the years

and through the tears

through the "I love you"s

that were never true

you stayed by my side

and in your eyes I find

the peace I always looked for

the love I always dreamed for

but I'm human and I make mistakes

and the worst thing I ever did was fake

the most important thing in the world

I was never supposed to be your girl

you cried, and I did too

and I tried to let you know I still love you

even if it wasn't in the way you needed

even if it made your sadness defeated

silence.

silence in my ears

Months of aching, months of tears

because I never knew how much

I needed your touch

until you were gone

and I couldn't hear your song

I was the one who was supposed to love you

I was the one that wasn't supposed to hurt you too

but you came back to me

because no matter how much you bleed

you'll always find yourself on your feet

and I will always find myself in your heartbeat

because it doesn't matter what we do

as long as we stay true

to ourselves, and to us

and remember how to trust

my dear, until the end

you will always be my best friend.
