friends till the end

there is a place that I go

in my memory 

a place that you hold 

without lock or key 

from the moment we met 

I saved it for you 

I knew this was different 

you've shown this is true 

at times I'm confused 

as to how this all fits 

but we keep moving on 

no matter how hard it gets 

I've put you through paces 

I've made you look deep 

I've called you on things 

my price has been steep 

this bond that we share 

a friendship that's sealed 

with love and understanding 

with nurturing and healing 

you will always belong 

in my heart's special place 

no one comes close 

to filling this space 

I'll be here for you 

as you're there for me 

friends till the end 

this I'll always believe

from the moment we met 

I saved it for you 

I knew this was different 

you've shown this is true
