Soul Friend

How can I describe
this love I feel for you?

...that when I first looked into your eyes
I saw myself.
...that when you first wrapped your arms around me
it felt like coming home.

I cannot explain this connection
that we have~
where words are not needed,
where feelings are understood,
and your laughter touches me
deep in my soul.

I only know that you and I
have walked through life
together before,
as friends, or lovers,
or perhaps as mother and child.

And each time I'm with you
I am thankful,
dear friend,
to be by your side once again.
