She walks onto the stage
The audience is quiet
I am in the first row
Her footsteps echo
Her first words are clear
Why can I not see her fear?
Its not there...
I am there when she prepares for this
Not just when she is in costume
I recite all of her lines
I have them memorized myself
I mouth the words as she sais them
Hoping... but knowing she will never stumble
It is her; on stage
They love her; I love her
I am first on my feet when she takes her bow
I am so glad I know her more than they do
I am so glad she looks at me and smiles
When its HER time in the spotlight
not afraid to let them all see her eyes wandering
Towards me
There is nothing better in the world
My best friend
