I searched
I searched a lifetime for...
A best friend who would give an ear or hand,
...when I felt myself sinking.
A best friend who would like and love,
...the person I really was.
A best friend who would share smiles and tears with me,
....when I didn't want to be alone.
A best friend who would listen,
...when I wanted to talk.
A best friend who would talk straight to me,
...when I needed to hear and listen.
I searched and I searched but my search came up empty.
Then one day I looked up and saw that you had been there all along.
