I looked for a friend
Who'd know me and trust me,
I looked for a friend
Who always would love me.
One who would see
The worst and the best
And still would love me
When I was a pest.
I looked for a friend
I never thought I'd find,
One who would be there
No matter the time.
One who would care
To know me, to trust me.
With whom I'd share
My worries, my fears.
I often would pray
For one just like this
Who, when away,
I would quite miss.
I searched night and day
And still couldn't find
One who is fair
And loving and kind.
Now, Praise the Lord!
For that day has come,
I found a friend,
With whom I have fun.
How blind could I be
To be looking around,
When in front of me
Is where she was found.
One who knows
My quirks and my riddles,
And sets me aglow
By her laughs and her giggles.
One to whom I
Will always listen,
When sharing her troubles
With tear drops that glisten.
This is my friend
Who shows me she loves me,
By being my friend
Who knows me and trusts me.
This is my friend
Who always will care,
Which just goes to show you
how God answers prayer.
Something I wrote sometime around June 2011, one might take it as the ultimate friend zoned poem, but this was the only way I knew how to say 'I love you' without really saying it. Unfortunately, always doesn't always last as long as we'd like it to, but such is the way the world turns, sometimes we just have to turn with it.
