Just a name on a page
Yet that one word speaks volumes
Straight to my heart
What fate has conspired to make
This bond so strong
How can it be so easy
Exchanging all these thoughts
There's something so familiar
As though it's been this way before
Did I know you in a past, forgotten life
And were we dearest friends
How else this easy melding
Of mind, of hearts, of thoughts
We're friends... such a simple phrase
Yet it seems so crystal clear
You've occupied a special place
And made it all your own.
You've called up a truer me
Than what I've usually shown
With you it's always comfortable
With you, there is an honesty
No reservations, simple trust
It really doesn't matter how it came to be
The friendship's all that matters
You're very special and dear to me
A friend of the soul

Thank you, James, for reading and for enjoying

I wrote this one actually first for my very dear friend... but I just keep on trying, because she is so special, to find just the right words...

Friend of the soul. The title drew me to read this, and of course it's as beautiful as the title.
