I had a friend

I had a friend who knew the beat of my heart --
When the tears would start and the laughter could cause endless giggles

I had a friend who knew my eyes --
Could read them as the clouds set in and the rage would overcome me

I had a friend who knew the real me --
Who knew when my heart was breaking and when it was falling in love

I had friend who knew when to lend a shoulder --
When darkness engulfed my world and the road seemed too long to walk alone

I had a friend who stood by me --
When everything shifted and I no longer could see

I had a friend. . .
