THAT SPECIAL FRIEND

THAT SPECIAL FRIEND.

I made a new friend;

She’s fun, she’s so sweet.

Sometimes we could buy

Ice cream and both lick

From the same cone

Right on the streets.

We seemed perfect,

We just clicked.

She could call me at dawn

To have long chats.

Or sometimes at noon

To share long laughs.

She was fun to be with,

Nice to chill with.

I found in her,

That special friend.

I could put my head

On her laps.

She could caress me,

Give me hugs.

Occasionally we lie

And just admire;

Looking at each other,

Straight in the eye.

I love her,

She loves me too.

She tells me

She misses me too.

I feel positive;

I need her too.

She found in me,

That special friend.

I never want

To date her;

That doesn’t mean

I hate her.

She never wanted

To date me;

That doesn’t mean

She hates me.

The bond we shared

Is beyond compare.

I could surf the skies

Just for her.

We could walk

Hand-in-hand  anywhere.

She was that friend;

That special friend.

We had same emotions;

Same fears.

We had similar intentions;

No sex.

We had interests in success;

Same shares.

We could eat while standing;

No chairs.

Some loved us.

Some just can’t stand us.

Some admired us.

Some are mad at us.

We don’t care

And won’t ever care.

For we know we’ve found

That special friend.
