I don't want to be my best friend
How can I be mine
when I'm not sure what a best friend is
I've never had a best friend
People think I want it that way
To be by myself
I don't
I want a friend
to go places with everyday
And who won't laugh at me behind my back
or to my face
when she thinks I don't know
what I'm talking about
Someone who will understand
what I do even if she doesn't agree
And who never puts me
or my ideas
down
And who doesn't spread my secrets
all over school
What is wrong with me?
Of course, I make mistakes
That shouldn't hinder friendship
Friends need to forget eachothers mistakes
There is someone
somewhere
like this friend
to be my best friend
somehow
