Always value our friendship, seriously, it means so much to me,
O'er the years, we've been through many things; quite the journey.

If every couple became fast friends first, and foremost,
T'would be far less break-ups; all the more in which to boast.

Blessed are we to have known friends' love and lost,
Rather than stay akin together, regardless of the cost.

Bein' single; sometimes lonely; mind over matter that,
Not worth selling your soul over, to fall into a trap.

Oftentimes, one sees couples take one another for granted,
Friendship calls for unspoken respect, home-grown planted.

We follow our dreams, stride towards out goals end,
Individuals coming together, personalities to blend.

Again 'tis written; everything happens for a reason,
Mistakes to be made; lessons learned through all seasons.

Friendship, a relationship, to behold and to be cherished,
Lasting longer than most marriages, lasting until we perish...
