Thank You for Being Friends with Me

Between one and the other lies
The difference which specifies
This our complementarity

What we share is that rarity
Where you like me and I like you
For and in spite of what we do

We get along I mean to say
And in a happy healthy way
Friendship like ours is seldom seen

But you my friend know what I mean
(You always know just what I mean)

Our paths diverge yet always cross

Beyond the profit and the loss
We stood the bad times with the good
And all of it was understood

You are the best friend I have had
Nor will there yet a better be
Thank you for being friends with me

The world devolves as it revolves
And only friendship like ours solves
The riddle of what might have been

And I my friend know what you mean
(I always know just what you mean)
