I may not buy you gifts today
Or think to send you flowers
But I know your shoulder better than mine
And we've laughed and talked for hours
I don't see you quite as often now
But I always think of you
Though you and I don't share a roof
You're still my family too
And time has stolen the details a bit
But with you, I’m an open book
And even when there are no words
You 'get it' with just a look
You’re not the one who holds my hand
Or the one I greet at the door
But your hands have held my broken heart
And you've picked me up off the floor
We've sat in summer daisies
And the blades of winter rain
It's not a romance novel
But, a love letter in a way
And as it grows it strengthens
Even distance holds us close
And when I have news, important or not
You come to mind the most
A cannot-be-without-you love
To the earth and its ends
So every year this day rolls around
I think about my friends.
