My Friend

\nAnd if I could I’d hold you every moment of the day,
\nI’d offer you the stars above to keep your tears at bay.
\nYou walk through life a goddess but inside a frightened child,
\nAn enchantress, and a fairy, and the girl who drives me wild.<\/p>\n
And if I could I’d kiss you every moment of the day,
\nThen give you everything you love to try to make you stay —
\nYou showed me all the facets and the faces of your heart,
\nThe mistress of enticement sweet exponent of the art.<\/p>\n
And if I could I’d love you every moment of the day,
\nYou gave my soul a needed shove to set me on my way.
\nWe stand toward the sunset and embrace its final glow,
\nYou gave me half your courage and my first true chance to know.<\/p>\n
And if I could … , you know the rest, you too have seen today,
\nMy teacher in the school of love the actress in my play.
\nThe dream I’ll never wake from and reality beside;
\nPerhaps it’s hell or heaven and we met the day I died.<\/p>\n
And as I can I’ll keep you, from now on and evermore,
\nThe special friend I’ll always love, the girl that I adore,
\nThe first, the last, the in-between, the best and, yes, the worst;
\nNo other girl has told me that all men were meant to burst!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
