Today I Found a Friend

Today I found a friend,

Who knew everything I felt

She knew my every weakness,

And the problems I've been dealt.

She understood my wonders,

And listened to my dreams.

She listened to how I felt about life and love,

And knew what it all means.

Not once did she interrupt me,

Or tell me I was wrong.

She understood what I was going through,

And promised she'd stay long.

I reached out to this friend

To show her that I care,

To pull her close and let her know

How much I need her there.

I went to hold her hand

To pull her a bit nearer,

And realized that this perfect friend I found

Was nothing but my mirror.
