My True Friend

 

I need to know if you’re my true friend,
Will you be by my side until the end
Can I tell you my secrets deep,
and trust them in your heart you’ll keep?
We are neither of us without our flaws,
Can you accept mine as I will yours?
I’ll be a shoulder to cry on when you’re blue,
Will you be there for me when I need you?
No matter how busy I will make time for you,
If you are busy will you make time for me too?
I will take your hand and comfort your tears,
Will you hold me and soothe my fears?
I will give you joy and many warm smiles,
Can we share that even across many miles?
I will not forget what’s important to you,
Will you remember what’s important to me too?
With you,  my most favourite things I’ll share,
If only I know that you truly care
If you can accept me as I do you,
then I will know you are a friend most true.
