My One True Friend

I must confess to you my one, true friend
I’ll be gone with the mist of the morning.
Heaven only knows if we’ll ever meet again
And the road I’m to travel I’m not knowing.

It pains me to leave you now my one true friend
Who has tried to understand me like no other.
And I’ll never forget the heart, soul and fire
Of the angel who loved me as a brother.

Take heart, take heart my one, true friend.
Let no tears fall down upon this letter.
There’s nothing I’d rather do than chase the sun
with you, a kaleidoscope of joy forever.

But the wells of my resolve have long dried up
All that remains is this vague explanation.
This world is fixing to swallow up my soul;
To leave me lost, drowning in damnation.

I remember sweetly though soft autumn days
By the river we’d laugh like lovers for no reason.
When dusk left to dream we’d disappear into the sky
And find comfort among the stars singing freedom.

It came in a vision, like symphony cymbals
or maybe a mothers quiet caress.
In our darkest, dreams we are deserted
But my mind tonight is whispering yes.
