Listen to poem:

A Friend Like You - Comp

I've travelled a bit
Been to places, seen stuff
Met amazing folks
'til it seemed like enough 

On my doorstep I found
Something far in excess
Of my wishes for friendship
If I truly confess

We can talk about love
Or the fanning of flame
But I'm peering much deeper
Again and again

There is something much clearer
If some time you can spare me
It is love but it's not and
I know that's contrary

It's a frequency vibe
It's the bell we can toll
With a resonance heard
By a familiar soul

I won't talk about home 
For this is not a place.
Not a season or time
Or a prettier face

Like a journey within
A soul sister or brother
A connection profound;
Being lost with another

Suffice is to say
Come hail, snow or rain 
Now I've found you, my friend 
Lost with you I'll remain
