The Perfect Friend ©

Shannen Wrass

Today I found a friend
Who knew everything I felt
She knew my every 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
