My best friend and I both had a really rough year, but I helped him and he helped me and we're tighter than ever. I wrote this poem to give to him for his brithday, but I'm wondering if it sounds too mushy. I'm not in love with him or anything, so I don't want him to get the wrong idea.

If I leave here ever,
If I come back never,
I will know that somewhere
I have a friend.
A friend that's all mine
A friend that helps me shine
Patient as ever when
I need some help.
If I leave here ever,
If I come back never,
I will know that somewhere
I have a friend.
You insult and I tease
We do whatever we please
But after everything,
I hope you know...
If you leave here ever,
If you come back never,
You can know that somewhere
You have a friend.
Through all of life's harsh years,
Through the smiles and the tears,
Remember that somewhere
You have a friend.
