My Friend

You are not next to me but always with me,

You are the silent breeze blowing through my hair,

Whispering that you are always there.

I hear you in the laughter of children

as they play in the street.

You are the thought behind

that wistful look on my face;

When I remember my dark hours

and my numerous moods.

You live inside my laughter,

You know where I come from,

my secret wishes,

And the foolish dreams,

I still hold on to.

You are my love; and my heartbreak,

Because you are so far away,

Though distance is between us,

Nothing on earth can separate me and you.

I love you.
