MY NEW BESTFRIEND

Today I met a great new friend
Who knew me right away
It was funny how he understood
All I had to say

He listened to my problems
He listened to my dreams
We talked about love and life
He’d been there, too, it seems

I never once felt judged by him
He knew just how I felt
He seemed to just accept me
And all the problems I’d been dealt

He didn’t interrupt me
Or need to have he say
He just listened very patiently
And didn’t go away

I wanted him to understand
How much this meant to me but as I went to hug him
Something startled me

I put my arms in front of me
And went to pull him nearer
And realized that my new best friend
Was nothing but a mirror
