Can we restart?
Reintroduce ourselves
We'll be strangers for the first little while
But just like before, we'll be fast friends
We'll look out for each other
We'll do what we did before
But with all the more knowledge and experience
I want to get lost in your eyes again
I want to learn you starting from nothing
So tell me:
Starting the hour I get off the plane
And we see each other again after so long
Can it be the first time
We've ever met
Again

There are things to lose
But so much more to gain
Dear God help me to see
The value beneath the pain
This person's heart is so
Precious and invaluable
Don't let me lose it in my own grief
And let me know her hurt also makes her lovable...

If a tree falls in the forest, and no one is around
Does the fallen tree make a sound?
What if the three is a person,
As their life is cut to the ground?
What if that person, is me.

You are what a friend is
The embodiment of companionship
Why do you think you're my shipmate?
It wasn't an accident or a coin flip

You are what a friend should be
Faithful and honest, true and kind
Sometime you put my own efforts to shame
I was graciously given who I would never find

You are who a friend is
Steadfast and helpful, generous and sweet
You are so distinct, so precious and unique
You are mine alone, from head to feet

You are the basis for all friendship
You are an example of what everyone needs
But you are not, my love, for everyone
You are just the one for me

If you ever look in the mirror
And think, "this ****'s fat"
I can promise you now and here:
Your man can only think, "yum...look at that."

You want me to write you poems
This is all I have to say
I'm so proud of who you are
With each advancing day
You make me proud you give me joy
You are my bestest friend
I will stay by you for always and ever
Past and beyond every single end
Your beauty inspires me so endlessly
Your heart--intimate fashion
You wear your soul so wonderfully
You have my supply of passion

And in a life
Where two people are one
Perhaps the greatest part
Is in strife
Breaking yourself on stone
So that the other half a heart
Is upheld
