“My Friend”


My feelings are kept inside.
My feelings, I always hide.
My feelings, I tell no one.
But I have told maybe one.

Maybe one or two, I have told the truth.
My two trustable friends know the whole truth.
I respect my friends.  My friends respect me.
My friends are the best there could ever be.

But I know the feelings of my best friend.
I love Lisa ?????, so does my best friend.
We love the same girl truely in our heart.
But our friendship will never break apart.

We both have feelings for the same girl.
And our friendship shines like a bright pearl.
Our friendship is strong and is forever.
And we will always be friends forever.

We will help each other out.
We will give help all about.
When we’re in pain, we will help each other.
And our friendship will be there forever.

Lisa ????? is loved by two other men.
But with a friendship that will never end.
And our trust will not destroy each other.
My best friend is as close as a brother.

We have been friends since I was in first grade.
Now my love for her put me in the shade.
But our friendship will never lead to hate.
Even though our love inside feels so great.

He will not hurt me.  I’ll never hurt him.
If he ever hangs from a small tree limb,
I will climb that tree to save my best friend.
I don’t care if he’s with my dream girlfriend.
Our friendship and trust will not ever end.

But my friend is with the one that I love,
and I need her love to feel secure of.
Now I have no chance to get Lisa ?????.
When I think of her, my heart tears so sharp.

I have tried to get Lisa for eight months.
My friend hasn’t been with her for a month.
For eight months, I have waited for my chance.
But, now I’m not sure if I’ll get my chance.

Now my best friend’s love for her is so true.
His love for her came right out of the blue.
I will help him as long as I am helped.
With the girl I love, I truely need help.
I will help my friend make it to the end.
Because he will always be my true friend.
