A Friend
You sat by me in that one class, when I didn’t know your name
 
 Life was nerve racking then, but no one was to blame
 
 We talked, and learned, and joked, and laughed each day without end
 
 I was then realizing that you might be a friend
 
 I learned your name, and where you’re from, and many other things
 
 You showed me and you taught me things I’d never seen
 
 Each day I spent with you, at school and on the bus
 
 You dealt with all my laughter and dealt with all the fuss
 
 I still talk to you when I still can because you should always know
 
 What your friend is doing and where ever she will go
 
 Life is different now than it was back then
 
 But one thing remains, I still have a friend
 
 We meet at malls, and grocery stores, and places where we can
 
 And I write things just like this, so you know I’m your biggest fan
 
 You will read them and you will think whatever comes to mind
 
 I’m hoping when you think of friends, you’ll always know you’re mine
 
 You still play that lovely music that inspired me
 
 The pretty notes that go together all on key
 
 There is something that happens when I play that music too
 
 I remember that I have a friend, that friend is you
 
 You were there when I learned things aren’t always what they seem
 
 I learned that the sun always shines, and I am always free
 
 I have memories of you and I, every now and then 
 
 You told me once, and you don’t have to say it again
 
 You said “you are a strong person, and you can do anything”
 
 “If you are feeling sad, you can give me a ring” 
 
 Now I have to say that you are the best I’ve ever had
 
 You support me every day and make me feel glad
 
 As I write this I know one thing, and I’m sure you know this too
 
 Life would just be nothing if I didn’t have you
 
 Thank you for doing all of this, and making me feel amazing
 
 You have been my friend through every little thing
 
 I have written this from my heart, and to you I will send
 
 This message from my heart, that you will always have a friend
 
 I will be here for you until the very end
 
 When the world is bare and empty, you will still have a friend
