From my red curls and your bald head

You were my sister, my best friend

To my missing teeth and you straight blonde hair

My nemesis but my best friend

From the “serious look” or Kelsey’s first

My baby sister my best friend

To my DOC and the one with you and Kris

My grown up sister my best friend

From when we drifted apart

To the time we met again

You were always my best friend

Until we meet again

You’re my best friend
