I Promised

From the first time we met I promised you

I'd be there no matter what
in the brightness of sunny days or the darkness of stormy nights
After all isn't that what best friends do?
You are the sister I chose for myself
I couldn't imagine my life without you in it

You've apologized for not being a good friend at times
I guess as long as we're apologizing I have to say
I'm sorry for not always being there
when you needed me in the past
Yet you still remind me who I am when the world
doesn't see me in the same light as you do
I promise I will be your strength when God forbid
you find you are weak
I can be strong for both of us
if you need me to be
