When people have shared
as much as we have;

When they've opened up
their hearts, shared their
dreams, thoughts and fears;

When they know each other
well enough to know if
sadness is hiding
behind a smile or if
happiness is glowing
in the eyes;

When they've shared so
many laughs, and when
each other's pain at times
has triggered tears;

When they believe in one
another and are always
sincere to each other;

When they have trusted
one another with the truth
that lies within, then
they can be sure that
they're friends for life.
