BEST FRIENDS

Please don't be mad,
I just need to go home.
Please don't be sad,
I know I'm leaving you alone.
For you and I have shared a life,
Unlike any shared . even by a husband and wife.
In the days ahead.
When your eyes fill with tears...
Just remember the time I chewed your shoes,
Or maybe wet on your bed.
SO now, it's time to cherish all those years
We were best friends.
Someday soon, we'll be playing again
And I'll lick away those tears,
And calm your fears.
Just like I did for all those years.
We we're best friends.
