An Understanding Friend

The first time we ever talked
I felt so understood
No need to be ashamed
I didn’t need to hide who I really was

Days quickly passed into months
And months crept into years

You finally felt like you knew all about me

I must admit
As time grew on and on
I was able to grow so fond of you
I wished we could be together
I wished that I could at least hear your laugh
But I will never have that chance
You are too far away
