Best Friend

I need you like strings for a guitar

I need you like a bow for a violin

And I'll be lost without you like a page without a bookmark

You held me at my lowest

And you laughed with me at my best

I don't know how but you see through my unspoken words, my dry tears and my shaky ground

You comfort me - at times with a nod and at times with a monologue

We never agree but we understand

You be the snake and I'll be the venom

You be the moon and I'll be the stars

You be the colors and I'll be the brush

We can go days without hearing from one another and on some days you are the only person I want to hear from

Without you I am a song without a melody

You make yourself hate the same people as I

You know when I want to hear the hard truth and when I want to stay in my sky

You take me for who I am

You make me a better person

You vex me and you save me at the same time

You are my safety net

You are my harness

You are the piece that completes my mosaic
