there are times when i feel
like i've been stuck yet again
it's like i'm in a nightmare
that will never end.

sure i felt bummed
i felt like i was playing a game alone
when it was actually meant for four
i felt like no one was coming in
though i was holding the door.

and then you came around
promised me a friend in you
you broke that ringing sound
i've been trying to pierce through

thanks for being there
just to listen to what i had to say
thanks for telling me
tomorrow's a brand new day.

there's nothing like knowing
that i've a friend in whom i can trust
to turn my frown around
to wipe off all the dust

you've been so brilliant
making me laugh at all your jokes
yea, i've gotta say.
you're one hilarious bloke

i've known you for so many years
but one thing i've yet to see
is you leaving a friend behind
when they are in need

thanks again for helping me up
thanks for those great laughs
okay i shall go now
this poem's long enough.
