True Friendship


Sista from another mista
Brother from another mother
No matter what you call it
The bond is like no other

Maybe you met in college
Maybe you met at work
Or maybe at the bar
But it feels like you met at birth

They always know when something’s up
And when you’re feeling a little blue
You can try to tell a lie
But they know it’s not the truth

The moment that you met
You knew the friendship would last forever
Trust came naturally
And you’d disrespect them never

Well, not on purpose anyway
But listen to what they have to say
If you crossed that line
Then apologize right away

You can go months without speaking
But when you finally do
You’ll pick up where you left off
Nothing like their point of view

You could talk all night
Where the hours pass on by
Sometimes you cry until you laugh
Sometimes laugh until you cry

Either way they’re here to stay
That’s how you’d like it to be
You can call them at odd hours
Midnight, one, two, or three

And they are always there to listen
To help you pick up the pieces
Nurture you during break-ups
And as your connection increases

They’ll open up your fridge
Be there for your kids
Without even asking
That’s just the way it is

They’ll laugh at you when you fall
Take your keys if you’re drunk
They encourage you to be better
And then go back to talking junk

They know your favorite meal
They know your favorite track
They know your favorite this
They know your favorite that

True friends are hard to come by
Cherish them until the end
After all, they are more like family
Much deeper than just a friend
