Your First Friend by Nyx

[Verse 1]
You were pink, I was fur, both fresh from the start,
You’d giggle at my tail, I’d lick your tiny heart.
Mama said, “Careful, she’s still learning, too,”
But I knew my job: protect, love, and chew.

[Pre-Chorus]
Five years in, we were backyard kings,
You’d swing too high, I’d bark, “Kid, don’t do crazy things!”
You’d laugh, “I’m flying!” I’d pace below
Two dreamers, one sky, one fear I won’t show.

[Chorus]
All these summers, kid I’ve loved you that long,
But your summers are endless, and mine’s… almost gone.
I’m the friend who’s still here, though my steps have grown slow,
The first friend who loved you… and the first to let go.

[Verse 2]
First day of school, you waved from the door,
I whined at the window, paws scratching the floor.
The bus swallowed you whole, my heart hit the floor
How can I save you when you're not here anymore?

[Pre chorus]
But I quickly learned, you’re never far gone,
The bus drops you off, it's honk became my favorite song.
I sprint to the gate, barking your name,
Our daily reunion, a wild, happy game

[Verse 3]
Ten years old, you wiped away the pain,
They pushed you down, but I didn’t refrain.
One growl, one lunge, and they ran like the wind,
You smiled at me, “Thanks, my best friend.”

[Bridge]
You're 15 now, you’re chasing your dreams,
But I feel so small, coming apart at the seams.
I still stand beside you, but I’m not standing tall,
Once I was your shadow… now I barely stand at all.

[Chorus]
All these summers, kid—I’ve loved you that long,
But your summers are endless, and mine’s… almost gone.
I’m the friend who’s still here, though my steps have grown slow,
The first friend who loved you… and the first to let go.
