My Friend ~ My Love

She's got to be someone I can trust
there'll be no secrets between us
we must be able to discuss just anything.

Someone who doesn't like to fuss and fight
she really wants to treat me right
and is only with me because she likes the joy it brings.

She's got to be nice and easy going
not overbearing and never boring
but oh so loving and adoring
and make my heart sing.

We'll enjoy the times we share
even if we don't go anywhere
just knowing that she'll always be there means everything.

She'll need to be patient and strong
enough to tell me when I'm wrong
'cause I've been stubborn far too long
I don't know everything.

I don't need to search or try to find
because she's always on my mind
I've known Miss Baby for quite some time
this is the friend I mean.

She's a beautiful lady I met awhile ago
but now I'm beginning to get to know
I just want and need and love her so
and on her hand someday, again
I hope to place her rings.

She inspires me, without a doubt
who knows how it's gonna work out
but it won't blow my love light out
if she doesn't share my dreams.

What I feel for her is always there
but it's hard for her to show she cares
her broken heart she's had to bear
so I'm thankful for the joy her friendship brings.
