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 Peppermint Life is a Wheel |

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