Thoughts

I want to take some private time
to write my thoughts in verse
I need to stop and just reflect
on what our time together stirs
I feel the bond that friendship grows
and never has it felt so strong
You mean the very world to me
It feels like you and I "belong"
And when we talk I love to learn
those things of you I did not know;
fascinating trivia and honest
feelings that you show
Sometimes I think I've opened up a box
and found a treasure there
for nothing means as much to me
and nothing ever will compare
to what our friendship has become
and what I know will always be
trust, respect and real concern
that now exists for you and me.
That day we finally come to meet
will be a dream come true for sure;
I pray the thoughts I now express
are free and open, not obscure.
But even if the words are lost,
and if I pause or flounder then,
just touch me, I will find myself
and smile, recalling where we've been.
