My Best Friend

by Juan Paredes

Some days I miss you dearly
On bad days you consoled me
On good days you celebrated with me
When reality gets too much you embrace me
No matter where I’m at, you’ve always been by my side
And when I am lonely, I’d meet you like it was a routine
Ever since I was a teen
I’ve missed you my best friend
