A Friend

I think I finally know
What it is that I want
In a friend…
I want someone
I can dedicate a song to
And touch their heartstrings
A person that is accepting
Of the way I am
Loving enough to respect
Everyone’s own personal
Boundaries erected long ago
Patient enough to sometimes
Whisper through my walls
Without judging or condemning
Only uttering some kind of hope
Someone who will want
To spend a Sunday morning
Reveling in nature’s inspiration
Of simple joys and beauty
Is that too much to ask for?
Can I dedicate a song to you?
Will you be my friend?
