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.
