Poem about a Best Friend

I have a best friend
it is true, yes
we, I believe are
best friends both ways
with each other

he is my best friend
and I am his best friend

honestly, I believe
he is my only real friend
a real friend is way beyond
acquaintance-ville
or casual friendship-land

a real best friend
is something special
and hard to describe

so I am not going
to even try to

I will say this much
mindfulness is easy
when a best friend is around
