I didn’t know this at the start That day of my school class she became a part She sat by me because I wasn’t scary The only other girl in the class was popular And the boys were big and hairy That’s where it started, sitting side-by-side Now as adults, in each other we confide Oh, a true friend who can find! Friendship is about balance Being adventurous is her talent She helped me come out of my shell I’m introverted and reserved As anyone can tell We are both prone to overthinking But when we talk to each other Our problems seem a little smaller It’s always better doing life together
