Did you find me when I needed you most?

Perhaps it is me who found you. 

Perpetual misery pervaded my mind.

Another's folly was my affliction. 

Something you wrote seemed familiar.

I noticed you once and looked twice. 

I noticed you twice and smiled;

the first smile since my heart's ruination. 

A kiss in the air, caught by morning mist,

was offered to me in the starlight. 

I captured it with glee; I knew it was for me. 

A smile hitched a ride with that kiss,

then settled upon my lips.

The genuine warmth in your friendship,

brings to mind, the me of yesteryear.

I make you laugh hard,

You make me laugh harder.  

Laughter's tears cleanse the wounds of the past.

You pulled me from the shadows of sadness,

into the realms of joy. 

Thank you, my friend, 

for reminding me how to be me.
