Friendships

Recently I have been more aware of how important my friends are to me.  I have been more aware that men can come and go, family is always there, maybe sometimes annoying, but still there, and then friends, who see you at your worst and your best, who know your darkest secrets and still love you, those friends are there for good.  The good one's are least.  And sometimes friends feel more like family because you share more with them.  You open up more with friends, where sometimes family is better off not knowing EVERYTHING.  In family, sometimes it is best to have some secrets :)
But anyway, I really love my friends and I know we don't use the phrase 'soul mate' with a girlfriend, but I really feel one of my best girl friend's is my 'soul sister'.  She can be annoying at times like a sister, but she will definitely have my back in every situation.  She knows everything about me, the good, the bad, and the 'take it to the grave' events, and she is someone that understands me completely and someone I will never get sick of and trust she will never get sick of me.  A friend for life sometimes means something more than an official commitment in marriage where you are punished when things don't work out, or you just grow apart.  There are some people that even if you have moments where you grow apart, you always know this person is in your soul and will always have a special place.
So, the reason I bring this up is because I feel lucky enough to have a sister who is my best friend as well.  As a sister, she can be a bit boring and annoying, and like in any relationship, I am jealous and envious sometimes where I want to be her and not me.  She has everything I want, a great guy, 2 amazing kids, blond hair, tall and thin :)  But, as a best friend, she is one of the best friend's I will ever have and will always cherish...this deserves a song damnit :)

                    Can I be You


I wish I could walk in your shoes for a while
Wearing your sneaks and very bright smile  
I’m sick and tired of muddy brown locks
Your blond seems better, prettier to mock.

Let’s switch shoes, if just for a day
It’s not too serious, it’s only for play
I will be you, taller and sweeter,
You will be me, smaller and meeker,
And, I will be you, taller and sweeter,
You will be me, smaller and meeker…

                I know I am the bigger sis
                But I, I will send a kiss
To you, my sis, if just for a while
You let me walk in your smile.

You be me, and I will be you
I’ll buy a bigger pair of shoes
I’ll call your name to heart in hope
You always seem to help me cope

You’ve had your troubles and I’ve seen them through
And now, all grown, you’re on your own
The road seems long, but I wish to be
On your road, in your eyes to see
The road seems long, but I wish to be
On your road in your eyes to see…

CHORUS

You, younger one, are the lucky
I’ll tell you this in wisdom and truth,
Trust your beauty, blond locks and eyes
To see where you are meant to be
Trust your beauty, blond locks and eyes
To see where you are meant to be.
