Analysis of My Best Friend



my best friend
is one I've known for years
whose known me through all the hard times
whose helped me conquer fears

my best friend
has known me way too long
but we're still like sisters
we know where we belong

we've known each other
for 12 long years
there have been some fights
there have been some tears

her name is Jeannine
I'll be there for her til the end
I just want her to know
she is my best friend
