a friend when I need a friend

that's what you are to me

yes, a complicated friendship

filled with affection, trust and ecstasy

a shoulder to lay my head on

when my hurt transforms to tears

an open ear willing to listen

to all my joys and all my fears

a voice that whispers comforting words

that desperately needs to be said

never ignored the grief in my heart

told me you love me instead

strong hands that caress my inner core

and holds me closer to you

soft lips that kiss me tenderly

like sweet, soft morning dew

your beautiful brown eyes

gaze deeply into my soul

they know every part of me

with desire you behold

when I was at my all time worst

you never backed away

shrouded me with hopefulness

assured me you'd forever stay

I'm thankful that I have you

as my unconditional friend

you're always in my deepest thoughts

I love you to the very end
