Mirror

Today, I met a new great friend, who knew me right away,

‘Twas funny how she understood all I want to say

She listened to my problems

 We talked about love and life

She listened to my dreams

She’d been there, too, it seems

I never once felt judged by her

She knew just how I felt

She seemed to just accept me

And all the problems I’d been dealt

She didn’t interrupt me

Or need to have her say

She listened very patiently

And didn’t go away

I wanted her to understand

How much this meant to me

But as I went to hug her

Something startled me

I put my arms infront of me

And went to pull her nearer

And realized that my new bestfriend

Was nothing but a mirror.
