My Best Friend

I went for a swim once deep down the ocean,
And I came across a big oyster and I came to a notion,
That I would snatch its pearl and swim to the top,
And keep it with me as a memento on my prop,
As I started to snatch the pearl from the oyster,
Believe me it gave me a very odd gesture,
It was not sad that I was snatching its pearl,
But it was really sad that the pearl was not my worth,
It said why are you snatching a small pearl from me,
When there's such precious gem with thee,
It didn't take me even a second to realise that the gem was you,
The pearl looked so small before you in my memories,
And then I realised that without you as a friend,
I would've have missed a lot of stuff in my good memories,
I know having you as a best friend will never fetch me a girlfriend,
But believe me every second I spend with you,
Is like a pearl found deep in the ocean,
Thank you for always being there for me,
And I promise you these holidays are making me miss thee.
