It seems, you were always there
At the playground, beach and fair
I’ve known you, since we were four
You lived so close, almost next door
You would push me on the swing
Every summer, fall and spring
You often carried books for me
Whatever I said, you would agree
I used to help you, catch snakes
You helped me count, snow flakes
We’d make dams, in the gutter
And share, jelly and peanut butter
You helped me learn, to drive
I showed you how to swan dive
You told me about every crush
You were cute, you’d always blush
We were always the best of friends
If we fought, we’d make amends
We’d waste hours on the porch talking
Or discuss our dreams while walking
At the family picnic, when I was cooking
I noticed, you couldn’t stop looking
You said, I want to give you this
I opened my hand, but I got a kiss
