When you miss a true friend...

When you were here and I shed a tear,
I was sure you'd wipe it totally clear;

Your presence beside was not a must,
Your voice, the words I totally trust;

Never have you lied and tried to please me,
It was always about being true to me;

In your place I wonder if I'd be half as good,
Whether your problems I've ever understood;

You never expected anything from me,
Or were my eyes too tightly shut to see?

Have been selfish and am sorry for that,
Will be there for you at the drop of a hat;

You're my friend, so am lucky and grateful,
I promise, to you I shall always be truthful;

Never dreamt I'd be so close to you,
That the slightest thing wanna share with you;

An anchor, a support, a friend you're and have been,
Whether near or in faraway lands unseen;

Now it just doesn't matter where you are,
I know you're there for me - near or far :) :)
