We could have been friends many years ago
To be as close as only you and I know
Not a love of passion but a friendship so dear
I worry and care whether I'm far or near
 
We have a kinship of sorts and my heart sees yours
We've talked and shared for hours and hours
I sense your need for an ear that hears
You can share your thoughts and even your fears
 
There are times when I genuinely feel your pain
And I shed  tears like you and the falling rain
But through it all, we find a smile or a grin
From something we said from that need within
 
There is no friendship I hold so dear
From someone I know and can't be near
Friends like us will always be
I'll care for you as you care for me
