A Best Friend’s Promises

Will you be my best friend?
A simple question with a complex answer.
Will you?

Yes, I will be your best friend.
I will forgive your faults,
And allow myself to be forgiven.

Yes, I will stand beside you.
I will stumble when you stumble,
And triumph when you triumph.

Yes, I will guide you.
I will show you what you ask to see,
And teach you when you want to learn.

Yes, I will let you guide me.
I will follow you through trails unknown,
Trusting you will not lead me astray.

Yes, I will keep your promises.
I will hold your secrets safe,
And know you will hold mine just as tight.

Will you be my best friend?
Yes.
I will.
