Today I found a friend

who knew everything I felt

she knew my 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 I realized this perfect friend I found

was nothing but a mirror.
