You ask why I have stayed here I must confess, It's because I knew I loved you, and there's no second guess. Your hair in the sunlight would melt the winter snow, You ask why I have stayed here, I simply always know. Sometimes we walk the hillsides look at the earth and the sky, You ask why I have stayed here I think you know why. We walk hand and hand by the sea breathe in the fresh salty air. You ask why I stay here Then you explain why I'm always here. You ask why I have stayed here now that I'm an old man There's no better way dear Than being your best friend. |

"There's no better way dear Than being your best friend." Lucky lady...there is nothing better than having a best friend...I went on your walk to see these two lovers and was pleased with the vision...I loved it...*BIG HUGS* *may our dreams ever be magical* |

When you can reach out to your best friends is a wonderful way to spend the remaining days. She may have asked, but have a feeling she already knew the answers. Nice work, Eric. ~*~ If they give you lined paper, write sideways. ~*~ |

Thank you Helen. It didn't happen without trial and error. Sometimes I feel regret over the days, years etc before I met my best friend. However, can't relive the past so onward we all go. Thanks again. Eric true love never looks after it's own interests |

yep...my other half has always been my best friend. We were "married" before "marriage", marriage only being a formality. j. |

I found myself sighing over the answers to her questions, not so much the words, but the actions that speak louder become a walk with love that is resoundingly heartwarming! This is quite beautiful. |
