It is rare
that you meet someone
who with that first smile
becomes your friend.
Someone who knows
nothing about you one day
and all your secret thoughts the next.

Someone who asks for nothing
in return for friendship
but friendship itself.
Someone who makes it
just as easy to share sadness
as it is to share joy.


I found that rare someone
when I found you.
And like a precious memory
A friendship like ours is forever.
