True Friendship

True friendship is rare It’s one in a million A mirror image, a twinning Mutual acknowledgement In knowing She’s the one Who pays attention Listens with intention Can read your thoughts Before you think them With whom you share Truth Respect Consideration Humour Joy Pain Love No conditions Sometimes critical Even reproachful But always understanding Who keeps you in line Before you cross it To the point of no return Who puts you before herself Because that’s just who she is One in a million A needle in a haystack To be treasured forever That friend is you to me And me to you
