~ I Am Here ~

It's funny how I look at you
and see myself --
when we are two different people
 with two different minds and
 two different hearts ... 

Our differences are endless, 
but that's not the reason
we're friends.
We're friends because
we're the  same. 
I can tell you anything and
be at peace with myself ...
I can trust you with my ambitions
and dreams and not feel judged. 

Even though we see the world
through different eyes, 
we see each other through
the same eyes ... the eyes of friendship ...
eyes that see through all physical
appearance, and find your soul --
in one glance. 

Distance is not an option ...
our love can travel around
the world, and beyond. 
I take a little part of you with me 
wherever I go. 

You are in my life for a reason.
There's something God thought 
you needed to teach me. 
And sometimes, if I squint my eyes, 
I can see the faint outline
of your wings. 
And when I feel them rustle
when you brush up against me ...
I know that you really
ARE my angel. 

Truth is what we hold ...
bonds are what we make ...
futures are what we mold ...
laughs are what we create --
no matter how far ...
friends are what we are.

Against everything …
I am with you always. 
I am here 
 I love you 

~ My One True Friend ~

And now, is it too late to say
How you made my life so
different in your quiet way?
I can see the joy in simple things,
A sunlit sky and all the songs
 we used to sing.

I have walked and I have prayed.
I could forgive and
we could start again.
In the end, you are
my one true friend.

For all, all the times
 you closed your eyes,
Allowing me to stumble or
to be surprised by life,
With all its twists and turns.
I made mistakes; you always
 knew that I would learn
And when I left,
it's you who stayed.
You always knew that
 I'd come home again.
In the end, you are
my one true friend.

Though love may break,
 it never dies.
It changes shape,
through changing eyes.
What I denied, I now can see.
You always were the
 light inside of me.

I know, I know, I know,
 I know it was you

I have walked and I have prayed.
I could forgive and we
 could start again.
In the end, you are
my one true friend.
My one true friend.
I always, always knew,
I always knew that it was you,
My one true friend.
