How do you tell a friend you love her?

How do you tell a friend you love her?
That's not an easy task to do.
Just let your actions do the talking
She'll understand and know it's true.

Give her a hug when needed
And let her know you care.
Coping can be difficult
But a friend is always there.

Sit with me and share your troubles.
We'll gently shed a tear.
If ever you feel all alone
Please know that I am near.

We've had many happy moments
And sailed the ocean blue.
The memories I will always cherish
Were the times I spent with you.

I've a shoulder you can cry on
I know there's one for me.
We'll contemplate our worries
Over a nice hot cup of tea.

The things I wish to say to you
Are not easy to get out
But, for you I would do anything
That's what friendship's all about.

You're a very special friend to me
You must know that by now.
I'll help you any way I can
If you'll just tell me how.

You make me laugh, you make me smile,
My heart beats twice as fast
In all the years to come, my dear
I pray our friendship lasts.

To see you sad makes me sad too
I'm a sympathetic one.
At the end of the day, please reflect
On all the good you've done.

Don't give up! You're too good for that.
Reach down deep inside.
Gather strength from deep within
Look adversity in the eye.

I know you have the courage to face
Each day with head held high.
So, get out in front and choose the right!
On my words you can rely.

I've opened my heart. I've bared my soul.
But, all I've said is true.
I say with all sincerity
You're my best friend, and I love you.
