My Friend

like a friend you’ve never met
close but oh so far away
so many games you want to play
forever mentally in her debt

talking for hours about this and that
sometimes personal, sometimes daft
in a crowd, or alone on a raft
fighting like dog & cat

Nursing people though their pain
pushing that extra mile
and always with a nice smile
like a drug running through my vein

from the start to the end
and everything inbetween
always nice & never mean
just want to keep her, my friend
