My Best Friend

Today I found a friend,
Who knew everything I felt,
She knew my every weakness,
And 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,
And realized that this perfect friend,
I found,
Was nothing but my mirror.
