We see each other every day
Every day we forget the world together
You let me show a side of myself I dare not show anyone else

We laugh at our troubles and cry at the little things
Never once have we questioned our close friendship
We share thoughts and dreams, interests and fears
There is but one thing I do not share with you
I tremble at the thought of talking about it
I pray to the stars that you will not leave
You are my only true friend

You see in my eyes a barrier between us
A feat we both thought impossible
You encourage me to open up
I can tell you anything about me
Anything, except this
We share tears for the pain
Mine for fear and sorrow
Yours for sadness and support
Your eyes shimmer with sincerity
Your all too familiar face authentic

I take the plunge, risking everything
Rehearsed in my mind over and over
The words just flow off my tongue
With each word, my relief and fear growing
You let me finish my thoughts, giving me a second to collect myself
Opening your mouth to respond I panic
But only words of love and support are spoken
You thank me for finally sharing this with you
You know me all too well
Even this I could not hide from you
Your previous suspicions now confirmed
Bringing us closer in an indescribable way

Time has done nothing but strengthen our bond
Something like this never stood a chance
