The Essence Of Friendship

In your hands, I lay my life.

Holding nothing back from you.
You see me as I am
Stripped naked to your view.

You see my every flaw,

And feel my every pain.
You love me as I am.
My life and hope sustain.

You're a true devoted friend,

That can't be bought by price.
Who brings to truth its meaning
An Oasis of advice.

I found in life the wastelands

That made an empty me.
Your wisdom and your friendship
Have set my soul free.

You filled the empty void,

Left deep inside of me.
You kept my hidden secrets
So the world cannot see.

I found in you a lifeline,

A strength of force and will.
Our friendship breeds excitement.
I thank you for the Thrill.
