My best friend
She’s my best friend.
Has been since before grade school.
We love each other like sisters.
Even though we’re totally uncool.
We’ve been through a lot together,
My best friend and me.
She’s seen me get stomach flu at her house.
But she’s so awesome, she forgave me.
That’s why I love her.
She forgives me for everything I’ve done.
Things I totally regret.
Things that ‘seemed like fun.’
I’ve gotten her in trouble.
Maybe for getting home too late.
Or staying up and reading books I gave her.
They were just too great.
I’m lucky to have her as a best friend.
She’s too good for me.
I’ve abused our friendship.
But forgiveness, that’s the key.
I hope we’re best friends for a long time.
Forever and ever, you could say.
When we’re both old farts in nursing homes.
Beating each other up about whose grandchild is better all day.

Very true, it is, but not very poetic, I reckon.
You did make me want to call my best friend though :)
I love you Courtney! (:
