Dear Friend,

Sometimes while I sit at the keyboard talking to you, it amazes me how perceptive you are. You seem to sense my mood as soon as I type my first hello. Its as though you have a link directly to my heart and mind. No matter how hard I try to cover these feelings , telling you that everything is just fine, you know differently, and keep asking questions...gently, out of concern, until I give in and open myself to you.

Its not that I don't want to share with you. I guess its because I want all our times together to be happy ones. You have shown me that being a friend is more than just talking about general things or only happy times. Our friendship is based on openess and not being afraid to share everything. We don't have to dwell on an issue, but we can discuss what is happening in our lives, and be there for each other... to listen with an open mind, give honest opinions when asked and not only thoughts we might want to hear.

You are the definition of what a REAL friend is... With you I can be myself. There are no pretenses or coverups. There are no games being played. We are so relaxed with one another and when I hear the door open, and see your name appear on my buddy list......my face lights up knowing this is our time......our time to discuss, joke, tease, be serious...and to always be just who we are.....outselves.....What a wonderful and warm feeling that is.

I don't really know why out of all the thousands of people online, our paths crossed. But, I'm certainly glad they did......:)

THANK YOU...

FOR YOUR CARING...

THE ENDLESS SMILES:):):)

AND THE NEVER ENDING SUPPLY OF (((((((HUGS*****)))))))

Thank you for being my friend....:)

YOU NEEDED ME

I cried a tear..

You wiped it dry.

I was confused...

You cleared my mind.

I sold my soul

You bought it back for me.

And held me up...

and gave me dignity...

Somehow you needed me.

You gave me strength...

To stand alone again.

To face the world...

Out on my own again.

You put me high upon a pedestal

So high that I could almost see eternity

You needed me.

You needed me.

And I can't believe it's you

I can't believe it's true.

I needed you ...

and you were there.

And I'll never leave,

why should I leave...

I'd be a fool'.

Cause I've finally found...

someone who really cares.

You held my hand...

When it was cold.

When I was lost...

You took me home.

You gave me hope...

When I was at the end...

And turned my lies...

Back into truth again....

You even called me friend.
