When a Treasure Unburied Me
I don't know where you came from.
But one day you walked up to me,
and I couldn't resist your smile,
It made me feel free.
I instantly took you into my heart.
Telling you, from the very start, my story.
And whether right or whether wrong,
You now share my failures and glory.
And isn't it sad that most think twice,
before deciding in whom to confide?
Yet somehow, you won me,
before I'd even tried!
Then you put your arm round my shoulder
as I lamented with tears.
Your self-sacrificing shall remain
in my heart for many years,
So that if i ever look in the mirror
or think I'm somehow a star,
I'll realize, compared to you,
I am lagging quite far.
For I'm not sure where I'm going,
or who I want to be.
But there is one thing I'm sure of:
you're the best part of me!
And so forever I'll tell,
of what in my heart isn't petty.
I will love you forever,
my dearest friend, Letty.
From: A good friend
To: Me
