Take my hand
And be my friend.
Stay by my side
Until the end.
Give me time,
And I will gain your trust,
A part of friendship
Which is a must.
Don't forget love
That comes from the heart.
Without such a thing,
Friends soon part.
As time passes on,
I hope to be close.
For I think I can trust you
More than most.
