About to embark
On a journey
A new way of life
I think this beginning
Is just what I need
I have nothing left here
Nothing holding me back
So I will chase my dreams
The sky is the limit
Look out world
Here I come!

Every day I realize
More and more what I have
It isn’t my belongings, dusty on shelves
It isn’t the things I’ve accomplished
Or even the things I’ve mastered
But instead, It’s the people
And the experiences
The beauty of life itself
These are the things that matter
The things that are worth loving
The things I want to fight for
I hope I never lose sight
Of the true treasures of life

We talk every day
About nothing at all
Nothing and everything
Depends on your call
We share the world
In tangible little bits
Rescuing each other
From the darkest of pits
We laugh and we cry
To help save our sanity
Sometimes spouting
A smidge of profanity
We listen and encourage
As often as we’re able
Even on the days
When we’re sort of unstable
We know each other well
Heart, soul, and mind
Friends like this
Are the very best kind

Every morning
I see your face
Yearning for
A warm embrace
And just the sight
Of your sexy smile
Makes my day
So worthwhile

Thinking of you today
and I ask myself this…
How can anyone be lonely
when they have a million friends?
But I suppose it’s more than that
isn’t it?
It’s the foundation
the connectedness
the secret loyalties among confidences.
All these things matter
in order to gauge the true value of a friend.
And sadly
without the right combination
our state of loneliness
is never very far away.
