Best Friends

I can't believe I saw my tears
Reflected in your eyes today
No one has cried with me, for me...
Just listening to what I had to say

You...

So many people
Around me
But not...
You...

And yet all I am
Or ...no....
Not all
But a good part of me....
My laughter, my kisses
My forgiveness, my courage
My children, my songs
Yes...
All the good parts are
You...

Not my dreams
For
They're but my own
But their languor
Their pulse
Their heated glow
What else is it...
But you...
Yes
All the good parts are
You...


Not my life
For
It is
But my own
But its breath, its breadth
Its rhythm
Its rhyme
Where else is it
But in you...

You...

And yet all there is
In this room
Is me
With all the good parts...
For you...
