Innocent Friendship
When the days are dark
And the nights are cold
Feeling your intangible presence
Keeps me going
Staring at the mirror
My broken soul
Reunites its pieces
Becoming a whole
Even when you are not near
You support me thoroughly
I feel you care
Our friendship is lovely
We could never be
Since our lives are so different
But I am happy
Knowing we are not committed
Our love is ironic
If that is the word
Trying to describe us
We have no need for
But me--you and I
We see through the glass
Of which no one else notices
They don’t see the other half
I love you for you
You love me for me
But honestly, I ask my self
Then why can’t we be
You must understand to love
You must learn to trust
One without the other
Disaster will be a must
But we don’t have that problem
Our friendship is so easy
Or maybe I only see it…
Superficially
With or without you
I will make life a joy
But knowing that I have you
I can avoid unnecessary turmoil
I know you don’t want to trust
But I want to love
I know I don’t want to care
But still you remain here
I am so happy that I found you
You brighten my day
Even if it’s not cloudy or rainy
I want you to stay
