We were introduced in no unusual way, br But I will never forget that first day. br He went to shake my hand br But saw that they were full, br But it really didn't matter br The bond was already there. br We connected quickly br And though I was shy br And under the impression that guys have cooties br The conversation began to flow br And the next thing we knew, we were buddies. br Now we are truly close br Though so far apart br And he could never know br How much he's touched my heart. br Before I met him, br Girls were all I knew, br I didn't talk to guys, br I didn't really know how to. br But he helped me with that br And encouraged me when I was down. br I know I can talk to him br About things I'm going through br And when I'm sad br Smiling he can make me do. br He's really sweet br And a truly great guy br He can make me happy br When I'm ready to cry br And even though we're cousins by blood br I think of him as more of a brother br I can't always see br Yet when I need him, br He's there for me.
