My best friend is not a teddy I hug instead of crying.
My best friend is not the takeout I have when I'm dizzier than a top.
My best friend is not the drink I had last night at the bar with tomato juice and beer and celery.
My best friend is not the contents of my wallet.
My best friend is not the jewellry I wear to proclaim my own name.
My best friend is not the fame or recognition I get.
My best friend is the one who listens.
My best friend is the one who I matter to.
My best friend is the one who finishes my sentences.
My best friend is the one who has been with me since God knows when.
Because, when the world turns its back
And when everything that my friend is not I lack
Then I still have that treasure...
And then that is the purest source of pleasure.
