Forever Friend
Forever Friend (for Cynthia)
In my mind I held your hand...
In my heart I dried your tears....
In my soul I gazed upon your tender smile...
Your shining face....
To you, I was, perhaps, invisible....
You...unaware that your kindness set my heart ablaze.
....Then suddenly you were no longer there.
We were young....
Our youth spread out lives ahead of us...
And our futures destined us for different paths.
I slept for what seemed restless years...
Today I woke to see you there
Your golden smile and welcoming hand
Stretched out in an eager embrace.
No longer invisible....
No longer alone....
My heart caught in mid air by your gentle smile...
Two lives in an eternal embrace
Now bound by friendship...
By caring...
By love
Connected and bound; Today...
Here and now...
Tomorrow....
You are, and will be
My
Forever Friend.
