and the moonlight over us
shines
as we take apart
each other’s minds in our own
and analyze the depths of who we’re with

I’ve looked at you
and it was obvious
that a special person
is there within
a spirit of friendliness
a product of who you are

and I taste the earth and look again
I breathe the air and touch your skin
I feel connected
I feel dejected
that that connection is not both ways

But I’ll toil on
for friendship’s sake
All I want for you
is the best you can take
from life
from experience
from what you know

all I want for you
is for you to go
through life
knowing you’ve a friend in me

a friend who had to set you free
and should you return,
come back to me,
that friendship I’ll ne’er forget
nor let go again.

but I thank you
for being
who you are
for allowing me
to be connected thus, to you
though the connection
is not both ways
I hope
that one day
some connection
will find it’s way
between us
that
we may share
a little of life’s surprises
for whatever we dare.
