She makes me laugh at the dumbest things.
She makes me feel happy though I am sad.
She has changed my whole life from somewhat shy to a little shy.
She makes me strong though I am weak.
She sees in me what other people do not.
She makes me feel as though I am her sister.
But best of all, she is my best friend.


She encourages me when others people do not.
She is kind to me when other people are not.
I know she has always been in my life,
But just recently she is my best friend.
I could never be as great of a friend to her as she is to me.
I could never be the kind of friend as she is.
But best of all, she is my best friend.


I know she never expects the same form me.
As long as she is my best friend,
I will do my best to be the greatest friend
She will ever have in her whole life.
I know that she has other friends and I do as well,
But no one else makes me feel the same way as she does.
I do not know what I would without her.


Her name you will never know,
Other than Hairom is pretty close to it.
But best of all she is my best friend.
And that is why I love her so much.
