You think of me when something’s good–
you phone to share delight
and you think me of when something’s hard
knowing that in the sharing you might
find you feel better.
I feel better when you’re near me.
I feel better when I know
that you are travelling towards me,
soon I’ll hear you say hello.
The hug that holds me close.
The touch of your cheek against mine.
The knowing that you know
all those little things about me
and still you think I’m fine.
The little things about you.
The smile that I return
not because I do not want it
but in giving I have learned
there is receiving.
I feel better when you’re near me.
I feel better when I know
that you are travelling towards me,
soon I’ll hear you say hello.
I value you my friend
through the good times and the hard.
You regale me with your knowledge
and your music and your laugh
and I would not be without you.
No, I would not be without you.
