My best friend, no one knows

She follows me wherever I go.

In the valleys dark and deep

She holds me tight and together we weep.

We ponder sorrows, pain, regrets

And she won’t ever let me forget

The mountains we have stood upon

The battles we have fought and won

Love that remains deep and true

A path when it seems there’s not one to choose

Though not real, she strokes my hair

And lends me a shoulder when no one cares

She is never busy, or out with friends

Always there in the silent end

We rock ourselves to sleep sometimes

And in a mirror I can see her smile

A fading image of a simple girl

Almost tainted by a crazy world

My best friend will keep me clear

And hold the reason I am here

 To live to love to laugh and find

That my best friend was me all the time
