My Boyfriend, My Best Friend

We tried it out
One year ago
To see how much
Our love could grow.

It seemed to last
A month or two
As most relationships do.

We started school
We didn't talk
If seen in the halls
All we did was walk.

My love for you
Was always true
Even though you didn't love me too.

I knew our love was over
And I'd just become another shoulder
For you to cry on when you were sad.

My boyfriend
You were my only one.
My best friend
You will always be.
