Lifelong Friend

Friends we are,
and friends we'll be.
I'll never leave you,
you'll never leave me.
Why did we meet?
Who knows, who cares.
We've shared laughter, joy, and tears.
Close by my heart, I'll keep you dear.
I'll never forget you.
I promise, I swear.
This isn't good-bye, it's not the end.
Only the beginning, to a lifelong friend.
