Look out over
The shimmering sea,
It’s the place
where you’ll find me.
The sea is where
my heart resides,
you’ll hear it as I stand
by your side.
I may only be
your invisible friend,
but I’ll always be there,
even in the end.
Reach out your hand,
and you’ll find mine.
Our hearts and souls
forever entwined.

Your words
They sit
In a lonely tin
Sad to think
I’ll never
See you again
But life
Moves on
You went away
I’m still
Sometimes sad
You didn’t stay

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

Far away
In the depths of slumber
You reach for me
And pull me under
Across the miles
Past the deepest of seas
Nothing could ever
Keep you from me
For even in dreams
I am still there
While the rest of the world
Remains unaware
This is the wonder
Of love at its core
And there will never be another
That I want more
