You know you're my best friend,

It'll be so to the very end.

 

I am unworthy of your praise,

But you'll be my best friend all of my days.

 

Bite back that lowly talk,

There's no better man to beside me walk.

 

Dear friend I know you've never lied to me,

But you must know that wrong you could be.

 

There's a gap between could and is you know,

If you keep this up this I'll show.

 

There are others who deserve this title more than I,

The truth of this you cannot deny.

 

Deny it I certainly do,

Who knows my mind like you?

 

None but what of those you've known longer,

Would that not have made the bond stronger?

 

Tell me if it's time alone that forges a bond,

Or noble character that makes us fond.

 

It is the character to be sure,

But a noble one I've yet to secure.

 

Is humility noble or base?

When you answer look me in the face.

 

It is indeed a most noble trait,

I'll admit it's mine if only you sate.

 

This as well as patience loyalty and courage in stores,

And gentleness wisdom wit and humor are yours.

 

These in myself I seldom see,

But if you say it's so it must be.

 

Then you see that my best friend you are,

Or shall we continue to thusly spar?

 

Still I think you honor me beyond my due,

But in this I must concede to you.

 

Still your doubt does linger on,

But I have a plan to get it gone.

 

Relate it to  me if you will,

Banish my doubt you my still.

 

You know that soon I shall wed,

To the woman that fits me heart and head?

 

I know this and I tell it cannot come too soon,

For you alone she has been hewn.

 

And on that day you art to be my best man,

Deny me this if you can.

 

With heart in throat I accept,

From you this wish I could not have kept.

 

After going round and round we arrive at the end,

To see that truly you are my best friend.

A significant tone shift.
