THE PERFECT FRIEND
                          

Today I found a friend
 who knew everything I felt
 she knew my weakness
 and the problems I've been dealt.
 She understood my wonders
 and listened to my dreams,
 she listened to how I felt about life and love
 and knew what it all means.
 Not once did she interrupt me
 or tell me I was wrong
 she understood what I was going through
 and promised she'd stay long.
 I reached out to this friend,
 to show her that I care
 to pull her close and let her know
 how much I need her there.
 I went to hold her hand
 to pull her a bit nearer
 and I realized this perfect friend I found
 was nothing but a mirror.
