old friend

my friend

you and i, we have sailed the oceans

depending on each other

our mutual source of company

my only form of solace

we have had battles together

both with and against each other

but regardless of the outcome

we have stood the test of time

i have seen your naked past

just as you have seen mine

i have seen your ugly scars

heal over a period of time

tonight we are alone

under the starry night sky

you raise your glass to me and

something made me want to cry

you are a familiar face

and once a familiar soul but

tonight i may be falling for you

a secret you’ll never know.
