Indeed
I traveled a few miles going here and there;
Thinking I might find someone special.
I found someone special but she wasn’t for me;
All the while in the back my mind I had a friend;
She is always supportive, kind, caring; and never too busy.
Never does she take sides;
She loves me, cares about my well being and I find hope in her.
I like my cake and ice cream too but I can go with out it for awhile;
So for now I’ll take friends and be happy.
I missed out on seeing a beautiful place;
And I think I missed a great opportunity to know another outstanding woman.
My name is mud again; but hey I think I’ll go back.
I won’t look for anybody but maybe I’ll trip the light fantastic.
Take a couple ferry rides and search for that piece of serenity I felt up there.
At least now I’ve come to learn that friends that love you can be sometimes as;
Fulfilling as intimacy can be if not better.
