I still remember you first time I saw you
It was midnight on a Saturday night
That Somali brother looking fresh making three girls smile
I looked over your latest fashions and thinking you was just another pretty face
Three girls kept smiling, curiosity caught me, I went closer
Tales of love, lies, and a million bucks like you was at Apollo live
Making four girls smile
I couldn’t help but talk to you and once I started I couldn’t stop
The night turned to day
The day turned to a week
The week turned into months
Months turned to years
Politics, Psychology, Philosophy
My best friend you became
I never thought I would marry my best friend
Friends forever for me
Your Somali brothers always at your right side
Never cross the line
My best friend
My party partner
My study partner
My Somali brother
You had many girls of many races
Standing tall with curls and mocha skin making girls stop and stare
But after your every date, you looked for me
To tell me everything about them while, we kept talking over coffee and IHOP pancakes
Still telling stories like you was at Apollo live
Still making me smile
My best friend who was forever by my side
My best friend who I run to when I want to cry
My best friend who never put me on hold
My best friend who knows all my secrets
I never thought I would marry my best friend
Friends forever for me
Your Somali brothers always at your right side
Never cross the line
You never put any other girl before me
You took care of me like no one else
You understood me like no one else
I was your little Somali sister
Your little flower girl
The one that you wanted to protect
Friendship is always true
Life always shows you if your friends are true
When everything fell apart you were there
When I wanted to give up
When I fell and couldn’t stand
You were holding your hand out
Ready to protect me from everything
For the rest of my life
My best friend who was forever by my side
My best friend who I run to when I want to cry
My best friend who never put me on hold
My best friend who knows all my secrets
I never thought I would marry my best friend
Friends forever for me
Your Somali brothers always at your right side.............
