Oh woman friend from when we met

You walked with me a way.

I felt your hand reach out to mine

We had so much to say.

The tears that trickled down my face

In the middle of the night

Were only shared by your heart too...

You understood alright.

We hid away the gifts we had

So no one else could see

The depth of our mutual sorrow

And our frightening vulnerability.

And yet again our paths converge

And you see I always knew

The music yet to be released

Living inside of you.

So once your hand is warm in mine

Look inside my heart,

There lies a reflection of your own...

Shared lives, although apart.

Your great mirth, my friend, springs forth

And on tip toes does its dance

The bubbling laughter that you spread

Was not applied by chance.

You've touched me with your magic wand

And through my heart I see

The glory in your specialness

And all you mean to me.

Refresh me with your laughter

It flushes out the tears

And share with me your sadness,

I've understood for years.

And now at last our lessons learned

The cycle being through

We realize we were ne're alone

It was always me...and you.
