I didn’t know we would connect this way
for I didn’t think we would end up being friends.
But for some reason I wanted to be your friend so bad
for the connection between us was strong before I truly
knew you.
And then we bonded over something we both were dealing with,
and knowing someone else was struggling like I was seemed to help.
Me be strong and continue on.
Over time the friendship grew and you were like family to me
and when we were apart the connection was still strong.
Even when the connection was strain, nothing truly could make
it break and as we grew up the connection changed, but we still
seem to connect even when our lives take us on different path.
