THE LOVE OF A SPECIAL FRIEND (DEDICATED TO LORRAINE)


You,
You have always been there
Throughout the darkest hours of depression and despair
When the load seemed heavier than I could bear
Please don't ever turn away
You,
You have been my friend through all the years
You have helped me fight my fears
And you have wiped away my tears
Please don't ever turn away
I,
I need your friendship still
I need your love and I always will
Only you understand how I really feel
Please don't ever turn away
I,
I will always be here for you
With a love that is so deep and true
And I will do whatever you want me to
I won't ever turn away
I,
I can see the pain in your eyes
I can hear the hurt when you cry
I can feel the fear when you say goodbye
No I won't ever turn away
How long can one soul ache
How many times can one heart break
How much sadness can one person take
Without the love of a special friend?
