Just like a diamond
Our Friendship
Many faceted
We have different faces we show the world
We are different people at different times

So strong, so delicate
Capable of withstanding so much
Capable of being damaged by the slightest mishap

Just like a diamond
Our friendship
Costly
Beautiful
Priceless
