Once there was a girl
Who sat a ways away from me
And talked to her friends.
I never really noticed her;
Just another of the many faces
A person passes throughout the day.
Not someone to notice,
To care for.
But she saw me
And noticed how I held myself
Within my shell of self reliance
And decided to care
For someone who needed someone.
And so she reached out
And with her little hand
Innocently touched my heart
And called me friend.
Now I saw what those who knew her saw:
Not just anyone,
But Somebody Special.
Someone with an open smile
And a tender heart
Someone with a lilting laugh
And magic in her voice.
And I know so much more
Through her that I didn't know then
I have learned much
From my dear Best Friend.

Dedicated to a fan of Blueberries and Tangerines
