Back then in the night,
unexpected your call.
Living your fight,
hearing your fall.
Your demons were battled
you picked your self up.
sometimes being rattled
half empty your cup.
but mostly were wise;
old head on young shoulders.
cutting through his lies,
letting love's embers smolder.
Pushed the excrement out
stepped away from the wrong
Lost all your doubts
grew evermore strong.
And look at you now
my god you're a strange one
we got here somehow
as time malingered on.
A friendship that grew,
found like a needle in hay.
neither of us knew,
we would be here today.
being less than a lover
but more than a friend
there for each other
our heartaches to mend.
