The stubborn friend, I’ll own that trait,
Through thick and thin, I’ll stand and wait.
Though my persistence might cause you to flee,
A friend in me, you’ll always see.

I know at times, I push too hard,
My presence might seem like a guard
That smothers you, restricts your space,
But worry not, I’ll keep my pace.

If you need distance, I’ll understand,
Give you the freedom, lend a hand
From afar, with a watchful eye,
A silent promise, in the sky.

You might not want this friendship’s hold,
Its strength and warmth, a story told
Too often, perhaps, in your ear,
But know that someone’s always near.

Though I might be annoying, it’s true,
My loyalty will always see you through.
So take your space, or come close and stay,
A friend in me, you’ll find your way.
