Today I
met a great new friend
Who knew
me right away
It was
funny how she understood
All I
had to say
She listened
to my problems
She listened
to my dreams
We talked
about love and life
She'd
been there, too, it seems
I never
once felt judged by here
She knew
just how I felt
She seemed
to just accept me
And all
the problems I'd been dealt
She didn't
interrupt me
Or need
to have her say
She just
listened very patiently
And didn't
go away
I wanted
her to understand
How much
this meant to me
But as
I went to hug her
Something
startled me
I put my
arms in front of me
And went
to pull her nearer
And realized
that my new best friend
Was nothing
but a mirror
