My Dearest Friend

I can trust you with a secret,
A simple word that few can keep.
I can call you when I'm tired
And I simply cannot sleep.
I can drop by without calling
You never seem to care.
I can burden you with troubles
I sometimes cannot bear.
I can also make you laugh
With my foolishness and wit
I can sense when you are weary
Or you just don't mind a bit.
I can do this with no other
In this duration that we've spanned
For there's just no other friend
That does just what
YOU CAN!
