A Friend

When I first saw you there wasn’t much.

I didn’t get a wow.

I didn’t know what would happen.

I never had a clue.

Time went by and I saw you.

I saw that you were a great person.

I got to see things that I never imagined.

I see now that some things are just meant to be.

Little by little I got to know you.

I know little things and big things.

All the talks we’ve had,

Just added to it all.

It was work, day in and day out,

But every day you were there

Felt a little easier.

You made work fun.

One day followed the next.

They all seem blurred together now.

The season’s over and we’re moving on.

I think that’s the hardest part.

I knew that it would all go as it had come.

And yet I still find myself wishing…

I wish it wasn’t over.

I wish I could go back to the beginning.

That can’t be done though.

We all have to move on.

I know that’s what I’ll do,

But I won’t forget.

I found a someone to talk to.

Someone to count on and

Someone to play with and

Someone to share the quiet.

There were ups and downs.

I saw you when you were cranky

And I still tried to cheer you up

I never backed away.

We shared happy days and

A lot of fun times.

Some were times to loosen up,

And others were times to let loose.

No matter what happens next

I promise to remember it all.

I won’t forget what I found in you,

A friend.
