Friends are Forever

It’s not about when you came
It’s not what you brought or have come to take
You’ve been around when I’ve needed you
You’ve seen me through a lot of pain
But it’s not even about how useful you’ve been
You’ve not always said the right words
And not always been of help
But it’s not about all of that
I call you my friend
Because all this while you’ve been here
Through the good and through the bad
Through the phases through the days
Even when I have been the worse of us two
You came and never left
I call you my friend
Because you’ve stayed
