My new best friend

Today i met a new friend
who new right away
it was funny how she understand
all i had to say.

she listend to my problems.
she listend to my dreams.
we talked about love and life,
she'd been there too it seems.

i never once felt judged by her.
she knew just how i felt.
she seemed to just accept me
and all the problems i'd been dealt with.

she didn't interrupt me
or need to have her say.
she just listened very patiently
and didn't go away.

I wanted her to understand
how much this meant to me,
but as i went to hug her
something startled me.

i put my arms in front of me
and went to pull her near
and realized that my new best friend
was nothing but a mirror.
