I met you not so long ago, and never thought that we...

Could share the kind of friendship that we've both come to see.

After many disappointments, and hurt feelings of the past...

I never thought I'd find another friendship that would last.

I really was afraid, you know, to bare my heart and soul

to another individual - That just was not my goal.

And then I met you one fine day, and much to my surprise

I saw the glow of love and friendship in your lovely eyes.

How could I trust my feelings? But something just told me

that you and I could be good friends - (If only it could be...)

Had I finally met a true friend to whom I could entrust

my deepest thoughts and feelings? Or would this, too, turn to rust?

I listened to my "inner voice" and I'm so glad I did!

Because the fears I had inside, from my mind I did rid.

We've had our ups and downs, I 'spose, but for the most part, we

have come to be the best of friends, as anyone can see!

I simply can't imagine life without you, my sweet friend...

I guess you might say that upon you I've learned to depend.

Life without you in it would be empty and so blue...

I really thank Jehovah that he sent a friend like you!!!!!
