12 Years (Poem by Mark Borne)

Twelve years, and never once alone,
Twelve years, and never once doubted.
Twelve years, we were forever best friends.
When did everything change?
Life takes its toll, it takes people away.
A job was all it took, and he was gone.
Two years missing him,
Two years of wishing he was here.

And two years of never once being alone,
Two years of discovering what really matters.
Twelve years, and I no longer know what I feel.
When did everything change?
When did you become my best friend?
All I know is you're always there,
You've never left,
And now you're everything to me.
